Voter Registration and Education |
|
|
|
Those three words are the mantra of This is My Vote.
They represent the most effective way to fight back
against voter suppression and to make your voice heard
in November. |
|
|
|
Over and over again we see the impact lawmakers can have
on our lives. By registering to cast your ballot and
educating yourself on the requirements for voting, you
can have the effect on our country that proponents of
these these laws are seeking to prevent. |
|
|
|
Registering to vote takes only 5 minutes. Head to the
This is My Vote site, fill out your application, and
mail it in today:

I know you've heard it before but I will keep on saying
it, There is strength in numbers. We proved this in
Sanford, Florida, and its been seen its proven all over
the United States in the 100+ campaigns We know what can
be achieved if our nationwide effort to register voters
is successful: Elections will be swung, civil rights and
social justice will take their rightful place on the
policy agenda, and voter suppression laws will be
rendered useless. |
|
|
|
Don't overestimate the time it takes to register to
vote. It only takes 5 minutes, the same amount of time
it takes to send our registration link to your family
and friends if you're already registered. Together, we
can have a monumental impact. |

The
vision and mission of the NAACP are:
|
|
|
|
Vision
-
The vision of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is a society in which all
individuals have equal rights and there is no racial
hatred or racial discrimination. |
|
|
|
Mission
-
The mission of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the
political, educational, social and economic equality of
rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and
racial discrimination. |
|
|
|
The
NAACP, National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People, is the oldest,
largest and strongest Civil Rights Organization in the
United States. The principal objective of the NAACP is
to ensure the political, educational, social and
economic equality of minority group citizens of the
United States. |
|
|
|
What does the NAACP stand for? What is the NAACP doing
today? These questions are frequently asked of NAACPers
throughout the country on any given day. There is a
clear mission, set forth by the National Board of
Directors. The vision of the Association was created at
a Board Retreat at Harvard University in April 2000.
Although we use the terms vision, mission, goal, and
objective frequently, it is no always clear to our
volunteers what these terms mean. Here are definitions
of the above terms: |
|
|
-
Vision

seeing or conceiving unusual. discernment or
foresight direct mystical awareness of the
supernatural usually in visible form.

effort and hardship.
