The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom reminded us what’s possible when people come together and make their voices heard.

That same spirit is still with us today. We’re still organizing. Still speaking up. Still pushing for the freedom, justice, and equality every person deserves.

The work didn’t stop in '63. And neither will we.

Every eligible citizen has the right to vote, and we will protect it.

The NAACP and our coalition partners — the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Common Cause, and Black Voters Matter — have filed federal court claims challenging an illegal USPS rule that threatens to silence millions of mail-in voters before November.

We will not stand idly by.

: The NAACP’s Office of General Counsel is joining the legal team focused on the death of Nolan Wells because truth, justice, and accountability cannot wait.

Nolan’s family deserves answers, and we will continue fighting to ensure that no Black life is ever overlooked, dismissed, or denied justice.

"Drawing on the Association’s long history of pushing for full and fair investigations when Black lives are lost under suspicious circumstances, we will bring additional investigative and legal resources to bear and ensure that no stone is left unturned in the quest for truth and accountability for Nolan’s family.” — Kristen Clarke, NAACP General Counsel https://naacp.org/articles/naacp-office-general-counsel-joins-nolan-wells-family-legal-team
