NAACP New Orleans Branch

The New Orleans Branch is the oldest continuously active branch of the NAACP.The New Orleans branch focuses on voter education and empowerment, criminal justice reform, public safety, racial health disparities, and economic inclusion, among other aspects. We could not do this work and accomplish our goals, without the general support of our community, and monetary support of our mission by our allies and partners.The NAACP or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was created in 1909 by an interracial group concerned with the challenges facing African Americans, especially in the wake of the 1908 Springfield, Illinois Race Riot. Since its inception, the impactful work of the NAACP has changed the course of American history, fighting for equality, equity, and justice.
