The NAACP is in place to address civil rights violations for any citizen of Douglas County, Kansas. The Lawrence-Douglas County Branch of the NAACP is here to make sure the system is working for you, not against you.

If you feel you have experienced a civil rights violation, please contact us with your concerns. Once received, your complaint will be processed and reviewed by our legal redress committee, who will determine if your complaint meets the criteria of a civil rights complaint. If your case meets the criteria, appropriate action will be taken to move your case towards a satisfactory outcome.

Please send a copy of all supporting documents when you file your complaint with the NAACP. We will get back with you regarding any additional information we may need to handle your case.

It is important to know that the investigation/fact finding process requires us to hear both sides of a dispute. Educating the community about civil rights and community building is very important to our mission within NAACP. It is our role to facilitate conversation between the two parties and, wherever possible, to mediate/negotiate a resolution that is amenable to both.

NOTE: The Lawrence-Douglas County NAACP only accepts and handles complaints within Douglas County, Kansas.
