Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black woman at the top of a major political party ticket, chose Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Now that both parties have finalized their tickets, the real work begins: we can unify to fight for our collective future or let extremists reverse the progress we’ve achieved together.
Let’s get to work and usher in a new generation of progress. From now until the final ballot is tallied, the NAACP and Black voters need your support. Rush a donation of any size or sign-up to volunteer today! >>
The NAACP has built the foundation needed to meet this historic moment, but we can’t build on our progress without the support of allies like YOU.
In 2020, the NAACP activated 12.5 MILLION Black voters. And after their ballots were cast, it was our legal team who defeated Trump’s effort to suppress mail-in-ballots and ensured each and every vote was counted.
This year, we have boots on the ground to mobilize 14.5 MILLION voters and we’re already in the courts to stop voter purges and rogue electors in Georgia from trying to steal the voices of voters.
Together we can register voters, mobilize volunteers, and head to the polls to cast our ballots for a better future! But we’ve got to roll up our sleeves and get to work: chip in $5 or sign-up volunteer today and join the fight!
History has its eyes on us,
For Culture. For Community.
The NAACP advocates, agitates, and litigates for the civil rights due to Black America. Our legacy is built on the foundation of grassroots activism by the biggest civil rights pioneers of the 20th century and is sustained by 21st-century activists.
