Welcome to the western wayne county naacp

About Us

 The Western Wayne County NAACP is dedicated to advancing justice, equity, and empowerment throughout our region. As a local branch of the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, we tackle key issues like voter engagement, education equity, criminal justice reform, and economic opportunity. Rooted in advocacy and community power, we work alongside local leaders, schools, and faith-based groups to drive meaningful change. Through outreach, policy advocacy, and mentorship, we uplift every voice and stand united in the fight for freedom and fairness—because when we show up together, we grow together. 

 We lead a variety of impactful programs that address real needs in our community:

• 🗳️ Civic Engagement – Voter registration drives, candidate forums, and advocacy for fair voting practices.
   
• 📚 Education & Youth Empowerment – Scholarship programs, youth summits, mentorship, and advocacy for equitable education.
   
• ⚖️ Criminal Justice Reform – Working to ensure accountability, fair policing, and equal justice under the law.
   
• 💼 Economic Empowerment – Promoting Black-owned businesses, financial literacy, and access to economic opportunities.
   
• ❤️ Health & Wellness – Hosting community health fairs, mental health resources, and health education initiatives.
   

 Over the years, we’ve helped register thousands of voters, awarded scholarships to outstanding local students, advocated for policy changes that benefit our neighborhoods, and partnered with schools, churches, and organizations to amplify Black voices and create lasting change.

We are proud to be a trusted voice for civil rights and community empowerment—and we’re just getting started.

Join us. Whether you march, mentor, mobilize, or simply care about justice—we welcome you to be part of the movement.
