NAACP STATEMENT ON ENDORSEMENTS OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES OR
PARTIES BALTIMORE, MD – The National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and does not endorse
candidates or political parties, or engage in direct campaigning.
As the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights
organization, the NAACP actively works with our more than 2,000 branches to
inform and encourage civic engagement through voter registration activities and
public forums, and actively opposes voter discrimination and other policies
that make it more difficult for citizens to cast their ballot.
The NAACP works to educate all political candidates to
support policies that improve access to quality education and economic
opportunity, criminal justice reform, the environment, healthcare and youth
empowerment, with a dedication to removing race-based hatred and discrimination
from society.
