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. 

~~~

 This month's issue of County Lines Magazine features organizations and WOMEN that Serve and Speak up for our communities. Get to know them.  Get to know their STORIES.



 "We must continue to tell our story, history, our truth. There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."      

Dr. Maya Angelou  

"Promoting healing & recovery"

In Case You Missed It-(ICYMI)


"LET'S TALK ABOUT IT"


 In honor of Black History Month, 

Dr. Richelle Foreman-Gunter, a local therapist 

and ordained minister, spoke to audiences

 on  her recent research on racial trauma – what 

it  is, the impact that it has on both the brain 

and the body, ways to begin healing, as well as the Chester County Racial Trauma & Resiliency Collaborative’s efforts in providing resources and support to Black people in Chester County who are experiencing racial trauma.
