The NAACP advocates for smarter, results-based criminal justice policies to keep our communities safe, including treatment for addiction and mental health problems, judicial discretion in sentencing, and an end to racial disparities at all levels of the system.
The NAACP has always worked to ensure that our nation’s criminal justice laws are administered fairly and without regard to race.
Committees are where the work gets done. We find and empower local leaders to drive forward on specific issues and work. If there is a particular issue, concern or project you want to join and support, please use the Contact form and we will put you in touch with the appropriate chair.
