What Our Supporters Are Saying

The work of Fairfax NAACP is critical to the ever-important work toward achieving racial equity in our county. The economic divide continues to grow and we have seen the disparate impact of COVID on communities of color as a result of this economic disparity and lack of access. We need all hands on deck to fight for equity and social justice. Not only does the NAACP work toward change, it provides all of us a way to gain a better understanding of the issues so that we can strive as individuals for accountability to be involved.
