Past, present, and future. That's what we're both leveraging & fighting for in 2024. Learning from our past and betting on our future will drive our present action. Everything we do this year is for culture, for community. When we say culture, it's a hat tip to our history. A history that people are trying to erase. We know our impact is vast. This country is built on our physical labors and moves on the fuel of our creativity and thought leadership. It's vital we protect it. When we speak about community, we're talking about our future.
Our work for voting rights, desegregation, & education shows what we can do when we do it together. By rallying around Black America's most pressing issues as a community, we can secure the rights, the policies - the future - we're owed. Our culture and community are intertwined. Without preserving our history, we can't protect and sustain our future.
For 115 years, the NAACP's work has been just that. From stoops and corner stores to classrooms and Congress, NAACP leaders have mobilized communities to make sure we excel for generations to come.
This year will ask a lot of us.
As such, we're going to ask you to vote.
To volunteer to get your family, friends, and neighbors to vote. To fight attempts to erase our history. To invest in your neighborhood and take care of each other. And we will. For culture. For community.
For us.
"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

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.

Our purpose is grounded in three approaches woven deeply into the fabric of who we are. Collectively, we refer to them as our ‘DNA,’ and we embed them affirmatively in all our work.
