NAACP Strategy Refresh: C-HOPE
We celebrate the significant progress achieved by our organization since the ‘game changer’ strategy was created in 2011. After more than a decade, we are sunsetting the "game changers".
Innovation and growth require nimble strategies. With a focus on innovation and impact, we embrace a bold new vision for our next chapter.
We are launching C-HOPE, our new Centers of Innovation:
- Center for Health Equity;
- Center for Opportunity, Race, and Justice;
- Center for Education Innovation; and
- Center for Environmental and Climate Justice.
Each Center brings together NAACP experts: issue-area leads, policy, lobbyists, communications, researchers, and state advocates to implement our ambitious goals.
Learn more about each Center, our advocacy model, and how this will guide the NAACP's work moving forward.
How are you planning to show up and show out this year?
Last year was about our collective power.
This year we will .....THRIVE!

March is Women's History Month
The 2023 National Women’s History Theme
is
“Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,”
American women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social
change movement. Yet despite these contributions, we have been and continue to be overlooked and undervalued, in the literature, teaching and the study of American history.
