Please be aware that sending an email to the Branch does not constitute the filing of a complaint. You must submit a signed Complaint Form.

Completing this form does not constitute filing an official complaint with a legal authority.
Your complaint does not create an attorney client relationship. Submission of a complaint does not mean that the NAACP has accepted your case, and you should consult an attorney regarding your case, as soon as possible. There are certain filing deadlines that must be adhered to in order to file a case in court.

Know that your complaint is important to us and we will evaluate your complaint in our continuing effort to ensure the political social and economic equality of all citizens, in accordance with the NAACP's mission.

The initial complaint package should include the Compliant Form with a maximum of  three additional pages.  All submissions must focus on the discrimination incident. (Please state why you felt you were discriminated against. Keep in mind that one incident does not necessarily translate into an act of discrimination.) Following these simple guidelines will expedite the processing of your complaint.
