NAACP, in collaboration with @Sanofi, surveyed nearly 23,000 people across 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico to uncover the real-world conditions shaping health outcomes. This report is a roadmap for change, addressing housing, transportation, food access, and more to build healthier, more equitable communities. To empower health advocates to turn these findings into actionable change within their communities, we’ve also developed a toolkit. Learn more: naacp.org/resources/ace-… #ACEYourHealth

NAACP is standing up for DeSoto County residents against the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality's (MDEQ) blatant disregard for community voices. A public hearing for a gas-fired turbine facility has been scheduled on Election Day, with almost no notice, and three hours away from the affected community. "This is not a public hearing, this is a deliberate attempt to silence frontline communities." — @MsAConner, Director of Environmental and Climate Justice We demand that MDEQ: ➡️ Reschedule the hearing to after Election Day. ➡️ Hold the hearing in DeSoto County. ➡️ Provide sufficient notice and documentation for meaningful public engagement. Our communities deserve clean air AND the right to vote. Join us in demanding justice. naacp.org/articles/naacp…

"K-Pops!" marks the directorial debut of Grammy Award-winning artist Anderson .Paak, who not only directed but also wrote and starred in this heartfelt comedy-drama. We recently caught up with him to talk about the journey of bringing this story to life and his hopes for audiences. "I want young people to leave the film proud of their culture and inspired to learn more about it through traveling and music. When we learn about different cultures, we often find that we have a lot of things that mirror each other in different cultures that bring us together, not tear us apart." — Paak naacp.org/articles/ander…

"Representation alone is not protection. Safe spaces are not about exclusion. They are about ensuring that celebration does not come with an asterisk." Jeff Friday, CEO & Co-Founder of the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), reflects on why institutions like #NAACPImageAwards and ABFF are essential, not as a retreat from the global stage, but as places where dignity is non-negotiable. The BAFTA Awards moment involving actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo was brief, but its impact was profound. variety.com/2026/awards/co…

The Trump administration’s attack on the 14th Amendment is an attempt to erase protections for Black and Brown communities and undermine our democracy. "We will not stand by as this administration attempts to relegate generations of Black and Brown people to second-class citizenship. The truth of our constitution must be upheld – and we cannot allow this erosion of our democracy." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP naacp.org/articles/naacp…

Let us be clear: They know they can't win without rigging the system, so they're trying to steal our votes. Stay ready! Verify your voter registration status here: naacp.org/vote

We’re deeply alarmed by reports of a draft executive order being circulated by pro-Trump activists, which seeks to exploit baseless claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election to justify a national emergency declaration. This dangerous proposal, coupled with President Trump’s repeated threats to impose voter ID requirements and ban mail-in ballots, is a direct assault on our democracy. The Constitution explicitly grants the power to regulate elections to state legislatures and Congress, NOT the president.

Last night, President Trump delivered the first #SOTU address of his second term, and it was a stark reminder of the challenges we face. Instead of hope, his speech doubled down on harmful policies: ❌ Ending DEI initiatives ❌ Deploying ICE to target immigrants of color ❌ Suppressing voting rights through the SAVE Act ❌ Expanding oil & gas production Read our full statement: naacp.org/articles/naacp…

Black America is strong, but we must act now to counteract this administration’s policy violence: ✅ Check your voter registration ✅ Make a plan to vote this year ✅ Support Black-owned businesses ✅ Fight for clean energy and healthcare access ✅ Demand accountability from our leaders Let’s stand TOGETHER in our advocacy: naacp.org/articles/state… #SOTU

Tonight, as Trump tries to sell the American people on his own version of the state of our country, here’s what we know to be true: Families are still struggling to get by. Our communities are living in fear as ICE escalates its intimidation, violence, and cover-ups. #DRYICE And despite zero evidence of widespread election fraud, this administration continues to attack voting rights.

Ahead of President Trump's #SOTU address tonight, I spoke with @TheRoot about why the Black community continues to hold this administration accountable for its damaging policies. theroot.com/exclusive-ncaa…

Black America is under attack. In Donald Trump’s second term, his policies are dismantling protections, freedoms, and opportunities for our communities. And let us be clear: cruelty isn’t a side effect; it’s the whole point. But the spirit of Black America? Unbreakable. Read more and join the fight: naacp.org/articles/state… #SOTU

NAACP is taking a stand to protect the private information of millions of Georgia voters. Following the DOJ's recent seizure of election records, we’ve filed a motion to ensure sensitive voter data is not misused. "Our democracy heavily depends on people feeling safe to utilize their right to vote. The Court must set clear boundaries to protect voters' privacy and to maintain confidence in our nation's election system." —Janette McCarthy-Wallace, NAACP General Counsel naacp.org/articles/naacp…

The @NAACP and @Lawyerscomm asked a court to protect private voter data after the FBI seized 2020 election materials during a Fulton County election hub raid last month. The groups are specifically seeking a ban on the reproduction of such records. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ci…

#RestInPower to Rev. Jesse Jackson. Today, we honor a giant whose voice, courage, and love for our people shaped generations. Reverend Jesse Jackson was not only a civil rights icon—he was family to the NAACP. His legacy sits at the heart of our work and at the center of this nation’s fight for justice. We carry his light forward. naacp.org/articles/naacp…
