COVID-19
African Americans live with a greater burden of disease than whites, and as we’re seeing more and more of our chronic conditions place us at increased risk for complications from COVID-19. The NAACP is calling for the expansion of Medicaid as a short-term measure to cover healthcare for those who are impacted by the pandemic.

Our communities are experiencing the worst outcomes on all fronts. African Americans are being harmed—both in infections and fatalities in higher percentages.
WE ARE DONE SUFFERING
WE ARE DONE MOURNING
