Protecting our legacY. FiGHTING FOR OUR FUTURE.
President Biden, we agree with you. We can no longer ‘wait another minute’ to act on the gun violence epidemic. That is why the NAACP is calling on Congress to immediately ban assault weapons. Preventable deaths have been the tragic result of paralyzed progress. As our nation prepares to reopen, the lives of innocent Americans depend on expeditious action.”

DERRICK JOHNSON, NAACP PRESIDENT AND CEO, STATEMENTS ON VERDICT IN DEREK CHAUVIN TRIAL
Decade after decade, the community’s relationship with Police Departments across the country continue to be largely fractured because of a lack of trust and the lack of accountability enforced.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH JUSTICE IS ENSURING THAT THIS CYCLE ENDS.

DERRICK JOHNSON, NAACP PRESIDENT AND CEO, STATEMENTS ON VERDICT IN DEREK CHAUVIN TRIAL
A guilty verdict only proves that this country is still able to find a pulse. It does not mend the decades of damages enacted on the Black community at the hands of law enforcement. True healing comes with legislation that protects our communities, breeds safety and trust, and holds our law enforcement to a higher standard

The truth is that Black people in this country are not afforded the opportunity to make any mistakes look at the rate of incarceration in our communities. We have to work twice as hard to get half as much.

END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY & COLLECT DATA ON POLICE ENCOUNTERS
The very people who take an oath to “serve and protect” us turn around and kill us. They are afforded the experience of making a mistake. And we are expected to overlook these transgressions?
Our Statement Re: The Verdict of MINNESOTA VS. CHAUVIN
On April 20, 2021 many of us finally exhaled at the news that the verdict of Minnesota vs. Chauvin was guilty in all three counts. WC-NAACP celebrates this moment when the court did its job and justice was served. While this does not bring back the life that was lost, we believe that this is one step in the reversal of the injustices so many have endured. We, along with the nation and the world, wait patiently with expectation, for a sentence that reflects the gravity of the crime committed. The West Chester-NAACP invites you to raise your voice in the fight for freedom.
