Working through committees, we address the needs identified in our mission.

We use the local press, both in columns and in letters to the editor, to explain our activities and to promote understanding of our positions and goals.

We support local groups and the national NAACP financially in their efforts to promote racial justice, and we challenge those who either willingly or unwittingly, by action or neglect, undermine the cause of racial justice
