What We're Fighting For

Our civil rights advocacy focuses on six key game changers.

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Since 1927, the Jamaica Branch NAACP has proudly served the communities of Southeast Queens, standing up for equality and justice in all aspects of life. Read more about our branch history here.

Our Membership Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month. In January and February, we meet on the fourth Monday. Typically, no meetings are held in July and August.
