We fight for environmental justice by addressing pollution, climate change, and systemic neglect in Black communities, ensuring safe air, clean water, and a healthy future for all.
Environmental and climate justice is about more than just the planet — it’s about people. Black communities are often hit first and worst by pollution, climate disasters, and environmental neglect. The NAACP leads the charge to change this reality by pushing for policies that protect our neighborhoods, hold polluters accountable, and prioritize sustainability where it matters most. From community organizing to national advocacy, we demand clean air, safe drinking water, and a voice in every decision that affects our environment. This fight is about dignity, survival, and legacy. Join us as we work to secure a future where our communities not only survive, but thrive.
The NAACP Alaska Oregon Washington State Area Conference works to advance civil rights, protect vulnerable communities, and promote equity across the Pacific Northwest. Through grassroots organizing, legal advocacy, and public education, we fight for justice in every space where inequality exists. Our mission is rooted in service, led by community, and driven by the belief that lasting change begins at the local level.
