The fight for civil rights is a multigenerational effort.

The NAACP calls on more than 1,600 U.S. public and private colleges and universities with selective admissions processes to commit to the "Diversity No Matter What" pledge following the Supreme Court's extreme decisions reversing decades of precedent on affirmative action. 

"Diversity No Matter What"

Securing Our Democracy. Protecting Our Freedoms. Uplifting Our Culture. encapsulates the work to move the Black community forward.

Fresh off of setting Black America's policy agenda at our National Convention, NAACP leadership is hitting Capitol Hill to make those policy issues real.

CBCF Priorities

CBCF-Newsroom

"It's a sad day in America when we realize that extremists will stop at nothing to undermine our work to thrive. 


We must ban assault weapons now."  




Enough is enough.

OCTOBER IS Breast Cancer Awareness Month

All races and ethnicities are affected by breast cancer, but people of color have long encountered significant disparities in screening, care, treatment, and outcomes compared to their white peers.

Why they Persist And How To End Them

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, held in October every year, aims to promote screening and prevention of the disease, which affects one in eight women in the United States every year and 2.3 million women worldwide.  The event began in 1985 as a week-long awareness campaign by the American Cancer Society. 

breast cancer awareness

This year, BCRF is the largest private funder of breast cancer research—and metastatic breast cancer research—worldwide and is the highest-rated breast cancer research organization in the country.
