Message from President Dyotha R. Sweat

Greetings!

On behalf of the members of the Charles County Branch of the NAACP, I am pleased to welcome you to our website. The mission of the   NAACP is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons.  


The Charles County branch principle objectives are directed by our national leadership to follow the statement of objectives found in the NAACP Constitution – the principal objectives of the Association  shall be:

  • To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens
  • To achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States
  • To remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes
  • To seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights
  • To inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination
  • To educate persons as to their constitutional rights and to take all lawful action to secure the exercise thereof, and to take any other lawful action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with the  NAACP’s Articles of Incorporation and this Constitution.


We find ourselves witnessing an increase in Hate Crimes and Discrimination cases across the nation. Throughout history, the NAACP has been on the front line combating cases revolving around these various types of cases fighting for justice and equal rights for all. There is no better time than the present for you to become a member of the Charles County NAACP and join in the fight for equal justice under the Constitution  Dr. King believed that all humanity could play a significant role in promoting equality and justice for all through serving. Through civic engagement, the NAACP uses its resources to EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, MOBILIZE and AGITATE on behalf of those

who are disenfranchised living in our community.  WHEN WE FIGHT! WE WIN!

We invite you to join us along with over one-half million youth and adult members of the organization in fighting for equal rights for all by contacting us at membershipccnaacp2021@gmail.com. Let your voice be heard.
