VOTING VICTORY IN GEORGIA!
It’s been a big week for voting rights in Georgia!
Thanks to the hard work of the NAACP Georgia State Conference, a judge issued a consent order prohibiting the state from cutting off voter registration more than 30 days before any federal election.
This victory follows an earlier lawsuit in which the Georgia Sate Conference sued to correct a state law that required Georgians to register three months prior a federal runoff election in order to vote – a clear violation of the National Voter Registration Act.
Georgia isn’t the only place where we’re making progress though: the NAACP has won back rights for voters in Louisiana and Texas and has filed further lawsuits in states like Indiana.
We’re fighting in the courts because we know that we’ll never stop hate and achieve equality if we don't vote.
We believe that Americans deserve a just, inclusive democracy.
Are you with us?
With gratitude,
Derrick

NAACP NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT and CEO – DERRICK JOHNSON
It is my honor to write to you as your newly elected President and CEO.
In the face of a brutal and near-daily national assault on civil rights and progressive issues, the NAACP has recognized the immediate need for a leader to guide the organization during its strategic re-envisioning process.
The NAACP has a long legacy of activism and civil rights leadership, but I am committed to retooling and refreshing the Association to best confront 21-century challenges. As president, I seek to shepherd the Association into a period of growth and strength: building our field, our funds, and our force as a champion of civic engagement. I will use every tactic in our playbook to ensure that African Americans can achieve equality in the United States.
Looking forward,
Derrick
NAACP
