NAACP MSC Focus Areas
The six NAACP Game Changer Initiatives below address the major areas of inequality facing African Americans and are the driving forces for the work of the NAACP MSC.
Expanding Youth and Young Adult Engagement
The NAACP is expanding the presence of youth consciousness in every aspect of the Association through significant attention to expanding engagement with key age demographic (1979 and after). Young adult engagement will be key in policy research, development and advocacy on all levels. Greater support is being made to enhance the capacity of local units to recruit, engage, train and retain young adults. Innovative approaches are being taken on young adult membership and program engagement. Learn more.
Economic Sustainability
A chance to live the American Dream for all. Every person will have equal opportunity to achieve economic success, sustainability, and financial security. Learn more.
Education
A free, high-quality, public education for all. Every child will receive a free, high quality, equitably-funded, public pre-K and K-12 education followed by diverse opportunities for accessible, affordable vocational or university education. Learn more.
Health
Health equality for all Americans including a healthy life and high-quality health care. Everyone will have equal access to affordable, high-quality health care, and racially disparate health outcomes will end. Learn more.
Public Safety and Criminal Justice
Equitable dispensation of justice for all. Disproportionate incarceration, racially motivated policing strategies, and racially biased, discriminatory, and mandatory minimum sentencing will end. Incarceration will be greatly reduced and communities will be safer. Learn more.
Voting Rights and Political Representation
Protect and enhance voting rights and fair representation. Every American will have free, open, equal, and protected access to the vote and fair representation at all levels of the political process. By protecting democracy, enhancing equity, and increasing democratic participation and civic engagement, African Americans will be proportionally elected to political office. Learn more.
The NAACP Maryland State Conference is Committed to Advancing in Each of These Areas
Making these game changers a reality will require the NAACP Board of Directors’ leadership, broad outreach in the Maryland State Conference, an effective program to educate state and local leaders about the plan and participation of the branches.
