Description

ACT-SO (Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) is a major youth initiative of the NAACP.

 

This initiative is to improve diversity and equal opportunity within the enlisted and officer communities.

 

A yearly gospel event located in Fairfax County.

 

We enlist the support of other community organizations on issues affecting the interests of minority groups. We also promote positive communication between the Branch, county, and community organizations.

 

The goal is to ensure that all students have access to equal and high-quality public education by eliminating all education related racial and ethnic disparities.

 

The Finance Committee establishes the annual Branch Budget, and monitors ongoing operating expenses to ensure the financial solvency of the Branch. 

 

 

An annual forum for political and civic community leaders to demonstrate their continuing support of the NAACP.

 

This group focuses on HIV/AIDS, as well as other diseases, and its devastating effects in communities of color.

 

We study housing conditions in the County.
The committee receives and seeks to address complaints of discrimination and opposes all restrictive practices whether public or private.
The committee disseminates information and renders such other assistance which may
eliminate discrimination in housing.

 

Our goal is to eliminate discriminatory employment practices in industry and government, wage differentials based on race, unequal opportunities for training and promotion, and unfair dismissals.

 

We may provide legal information and assistance to citizens, but we do not provide legal advice. For legal advice, you should consult an attorney.

 

This annual event includes voter registration
and other community events.

 

 

Membership is Power! The continued existence of NAACP advocacy initiatives, outreach programs, and litigation efforts depends on you. It is your opportunity to make a difference.

 

The verbiage that should be next to it in the description should be: This committee seeks to advance the NAACP's mission through interaction with its members, the news media and the general public. The Committee represents and promotes the NAACP through press releases and public service announcements for the and local media. The Department of Communications is also responsible for editing and publishing content for the Fairfax NAACP web page, quarterly newsletter, and monthly e-newsletter. In today's fast paced communications world, good communications is key to the success of the Association!

 

Our goal is to eliminate unfair treatment of African Americans in all aspects of law enforcement and the justice system.

 

As the fighting arm of numerous churches, we have the participation of many church members.

 

 

We focus on enhancing the leadership roles of women to serve as advocates for issues affecting women and children.

 

Future leaders are developed today and such development is ongoing in the Youth Council.
Today there are over 30,000 young people actively
involved in the fight for civil rights. Youth council meetings are the third Sunday of each month. Click here to send an email to the committee chair.
