Advocates for political, social, educational, and economic equality!

The Montclair NAACP was founded in 1916 in strong opposition to segregated schools, disparity in the workplace, healthcare and as a strong voice against the lack of fair and affordable housing which had become prevalent throughout the town. As a direct result of the outrage and organized forms of protest, Montclair has become well known for its rich diversity and community relations. We continue this fight today to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights to eliminate race-based discrimination, and to ensure the well-being of all persons.

The NAACP is only as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can do more than we can do alone. We have over a dozen action Committees specifically organized to address issues related to education, membership, economic development, healthcare, housing, political action, religious affairs, and voting rights, all of which includes an opportunity for you to get involved! If you are not already a member, please join today to help support our mission. Our history has certainly demonstrated that WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!!
