Description:
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP): With over 2 million activists nationwide, NAACP is the largest civil rights organization with over 2,200 units span across the country. They focus on discrimination, policing, prosecutions, and incarceration practices and how they affect the Black community. They believe our criminal justice system is biased and rooted in "anti-Blackness" and racial disparity. They prompt goals to form a diverse and fair federal judiciary, eliminate racial bias, and end mass incarceration. They are currently taking action by providing policy recommendations to the Biden Administration focusing on the discrimination in policing, courts, and incarceration.
The Black Youth Project(BYP): BYP explores the effects of culture on the decisions young people make in terms of health, sex, and politics. It heavily focuses on the attitudes, resources, and culture of Black millennials. They execute this by conducting research, share knowledge, and provide social activism training to young people. They also publish pitches and writing articles related to social justice as well as LGBTQIA+ issues, and feminism as well as accepting donations.
Color Of Change: is an online racial justice organization whose goal is to mobilize its members to knock down walls that hold Black people back. Color Of Change was founded after Hurricane Katrina. Its organizers discovered that there weren’t enough resources dedicated to protecting and assisting Black people who experienced devastating losses. Since then, they’ve started addressing police brutality against the Black community by leading campaigns to deter elected officials from supporting, investing in, and protecting an unaccountable police force. They’re actively working on developing people-powered movements that will make a difference.Color of Change offers a variety of ways to get involved, from donating money to joining its campaigns to end racist policies. You can sign up for its newsletter to learn how to get involved.
