WELCOME TO THE

MISSOURI NAACP


THE NAACP IS the LARGEST and the OLDEST, the BADDEST and the BOLDEST,
the MOST LOVED and the MOST HATED, the MOST FEARED and REVERED, the MOST CUSSED and DISCUSSED civil rights organization in America!

THE FIGHT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY IS NOT OVER

To build a better Missouri and a better America, we must engage in both legal battles and grassroots activism. Sometimes that means exposing prejudice in the courtroom; other times, it requires direct action, community organizing, and active citizenship. We must unite in this common cause, drawing upon the moral authority and proven organizing techniques of legendary social justice leaders and grassroots activists.

The vision of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY

Every year 197 elected State Legislators get together and make decisions that affect everything from how individuals and corporations are taxed to who will be allowed to vote and when. The Missouri State Conference of the NAACP makes it a point to be at the table for these conversations. If you aren't at the table, you are on the menu.

VOTER EDUCATION & REGISTRATION

Our fight for justice began and continues at the ballot box. The right to vote is under siege by policies designed to disenfranchise communities of color. We must counter this by advocating for a judiciary that reflects the diversity of our nation, proving that the Missouri Plan can work for all.

This trial presents a pivotal moment in our ongoing efforts to ensure a fair and just voting process for all Missourians. We need your participation and kindly ask that you extend this invitation to the members of your units. Your presence, along with the members of your units, would greatly underscore the united stand of the NAACP against discriminatory practices. Let's stand together. We encourage attendees to wear the NAACP branded Buttons provided each morning to represent our solidarity and collective resolve. This is an occasion where our united front can significantly impact public perception and the cause we stand for.
