WELCOME TO THE MISSOURI NAACP

We advocate for change to bring justice, equity, and prosperity to the
Black community and all communities of color in America's heartland.

The Missouri NAACP has filed a critical lawsuit against Governor Kehoe, challenging the concept of unlimited executive authority, changes to how votes are counted for Constitutional amendments, and Unconstitutional redistricting efforts that threaten to silence Black voters and fracture our communities. This is not just about maps -- it’s about power, equity, and the future of representation in Missouri. This lawsuit isn't being funded by big donors or special interests, it's being funded by individuals commited to the mission of the NAACP. You can be one of them!

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY

Every year 197 elected State Legislators get together and make decisions that affect everything from how individuals and corporations are taxed to who will be allowed to vote and when. The Missouri State Conference of the NAACP makes it a point to be at the table for these conversations. If you aren't at the table, you are on the menu.

VOTER EDUCATION & REGISTRATION

Our fight for justice began and continues at the ballot box. The right to vote is under siege by policies designed to disenfranchise communities of color. We must counter this by advocating for a judiciary that reflects the diversity of our nation, proving that the Missouri Plan can work for all.

PRESS & MEDIA

We stand watch over the politically powerful and the systems they control.  We demand action and change through statements, press releases, and op-eds from NAACP leaders across the state of Missouri.  We keep our community informed through thoughtful articles written by our leaders and members.
