NAACPOZAUKEE

Welcome

The NAACP Ozaukee County Branch has developed this site to aid Branch members and the Community obtain information on Local, State and National multicultural issues, Branch, Regional and National NAACP activities, Scholarships and Awards, and ways that everyone might become involved in protecting our freedom and advancing our rights and ensuring equality and justice for all.

From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. For nearly one hundred years, it has been the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that has saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.

The NAACP Advocate

The Research Department of the NAACP produces the NAACP Advocate, a bimonthly newsletter that highlights policy-related victories and challenges at the local, state, and national levels, and a biannual NAACP Special Edition reader dedicated to addressing issues facing African Americans and other communities of color.

Take a Walk Through History

Visit the new NAACP Interactive Historical Timeline, which provides a dynamic look at our history as an organization and our role in the civil rights movement.

The Timeline, generously funded through a grant from the Verizon Foundation, is the only online resource of its kind, with archives of photos, video and film clips to bring history alive.

Yes We Count 2010 Pledge

Every 10 years, the U.S. government conducts a survey of the population by sending a short questionnaire by mail to every household in the country. Participation is crucial, particularly for communities of color. When individuals and families do not participate in the census, it means their communities lose access to money, resources and power.

Please join the NAACP in pledging to participate in the 2010 Census. Together, we can make sure that all Americans are counted!
