Founders day celebration!
March is Women's history month
"Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”
In 1987, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 designating the month of March as Women's History Month. This year’s theme is “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” It is a time to recognize the historical achievements women have made to help advance us. The work women have contributed to our society has improved our lives in tech, fashion, medicine, science, activism and more.
As we begin our celebration of Women's History Month we do so with incredible respect and a grateful heart to Dr. Hazel Nell Dukes, President of the NAACP New York State Conference and Member of the NAACP National Board of Directors.
Dr. Dukes was bold and courageous. Dr. Dukes was an active and dynamic leader who was known for her unselfish and devoted track record for improving the quality of life in New York State.
She was a true warrior for civil rights and social justice. Her voice and her influence will be missed. We will remain in awe, inspired and influenced by her spirit.
We will honor her legacy by continuing in the fight, the cause she championed so passionately.
Rest In Power Dr. Dukes
"NEVER BE AFRAID TO SIT AWHILE AND THINK."
Song written by Nina Simone in memory of her friend, Lorraine Hansberry.
“It isn't as if we got up today and said, "What can we do to irritate America?" It's because, since 1619, Negroes have tried every method of communication, of transformation of their situation, from petition to the vote— everything—we've tried it all; there isn't anything that hasn't been exhausted.”
Lorraine Hansberry

Black Consumer Advisory
NAACP Launches Black Consumer Advisory
to Empower Black Consumers, Promote Corporate Accountability
The Advisory places emphasis on Black consumers' nearly $2 trillion in spending power, promoting informed spending decisions by providing the Black community with insight into who's promoting progress, and who's living in the past.
Leveraging Our Dollars For Change
In the wake of nationwide protests against systemic racism in 2020, many corporations and institutions publicly committed to being more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Five years later and some are starting to backtrack without ever meeting promises made. As businesses reverse their commitments, it is time to hold them accountable. NAACP issued the Black Consumer Advisory to inform and caution Black consumers about the ongoing and intentional rollback of nationwide diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments.

DEMOCRACY IS BROKEN. it's up to us to fIX IT!
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 remains one of the hardest-fought safeguards for Black Americans and other minority groups as it relates to voting. The power, agency, and access to vote is a civil right for all.
The most recent attempt to strengthen the right to vote is the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Elections have consequences and it's clear that this election has put a target on Black America's back."

THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER.
