NAACP Los Angeles

Office of the President ★ NAACP Los Angeles

The NAACP Los Angeles is committed to equality and justice for all. Your oldest and most effective civil rights organization in the country will continue the fight for freedom until all people have realized the equal hand of justice. As we embark on a new generation of leaders picking up the fight for civil rights, I am proud to be the one leading the important work of the NAACP Los Angeles.

Our mission has been clear since our founding in 1909. We work to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.

Now, more than ever, we have to be vigilant, and make sure we are at the forefront of the movement to build political power and fight for the wellbeing of the Black Community. We find ourselves directly in the middle of yet another civil rights movement, and now is not the time to rest. I hope that you join all of us in the fight! Together we win!
