Fighting For You
From police brutality to COVID-19 to voter suppression, Black communities are under attack. We work to disrupt inequality, dismantle racism, and accelerate change in key areas including criminal justice, health care, education, climate, and the economy. When it comes to civil rights and social justice, we have the unique ability to secure more wins than anyone else. Help make racial equity a reality.
Welcome To The Norfolk Branch of the NAACP
Established in 1917
At its inception, the Norfolk Branch protested police brutality and lynching which were common occurrences nationally.
The Norfolk Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. (1) helped to integrate public facilities and eating-places; (2) helped to win two employment discrimination cases involving federal civil servants in 1980 and (3) helped to bring about a “consent decree” for increased recruitment and employment of Black police persons and fire persons in the City of Norfolk.
Today, under the first elected female President, we strive to end discrimination by partnering with other community organizations to tackle Norfolk's toughest challenges.
