NAACP DeKalb County Branch - GA

🩸 World Sickle Cell Day – June 19 🩸

Today, the NAACP DeKalb Branch recognizes World Sickle Cell Day and raises awareness about Sickle Cell Disease, a genetic blood disorder that disproportionately affects Black communities.

We honor the strength of individuals and families impacted by sickle cell disease and support continued efforts to increase awareness, improve access to care, and advance research.

Together, we can help build healthier and more informed communities.

❤️💚🖤 Happy Juneteenth from the NAACP DeKalb Branch! 🖤💚❤️

Today, we honor the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of African Americans throughout history. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on our past, celebrate our progress, and recommit ourselves to the ongoing pursuit of justice, equity, and freedom for all.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at our Juneteenth Community Expo at Rainbow Park Baptist Church as we come together in fellowship, education, and celebration.

Freedom. Justice. Progress.

📢 NAACP Georgia State Conference at the Capitol

Today, members and supporters gathered at Big Bethel AME Church before caravanning to the Georgia State Capitol as the Special Session called by Governor Kemp begins.

NAACP Georgia State Conference Executive Director Tonza Thomas, PAC Chair Vivian Moore, and advocates from across the state are standing together to raise awareness about proposed legislative redistricting efforts and their potential impact on voting representation in Georgia.

The NAACP remains committed to protecting voting rights, ensuring fair representation, and encouraging civic engagement throughout our communities.
