117th NAACP National Convention


  • McCormick Place - West Building 2317 South Indiana Avenue Chicago, IL, 60616 United States (map)

SEE YOU IN CHICAGO!

This country is governed by the U.S. Constitution, which begins with the reminder "We, The People..." Not the politicians. Not the wealthy. The People. As the country celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, the NAACP continues to fight for the rights overdue to many. 

We, The People is a reminder that the equal rights, quality education, accessible healthcare, and diversity, equity, and inclusion we seek are within our reach. And it can't be denied by the corporations, politicians, and foreign forces that stand in our way.
