The NAACP recognizes the importance of the economy and economic issues in advancing an equal opportunity society and aims to address the challenging economic realities facing our country including poverty, lack of jobs and disproportionate high unemployment, lack of affordable housing, foreclosures, etc.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS:

  • Empower local communities with the necessary education, resources, and partnerships to
    develop sustainable economic models that advance diversity and equity.

  • Ensure that government and industry are knowledgeable, and committed to bridging racial inequality
    particularly as it relates to employment, wealth, lending and business
    ownership.

  • Grow a movement of concerned citizens and organization who work together to produce an inclusive
    and strong middle-class economy for the 21st century.
