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.
About the NAACP National Convention
The NAACP National Convention is an empowering and immersive experience held each year to celebrate our community's collective power. The Convention attracts innovative change-makers, thought-leaders, entrepreneurs, scholars, entertainers, influencers, and creatives to network and exchange ideas.
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago for the 117th NAACP National Convention.
