NAACP New York State Conference - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

76th NAACP New York State Annual Convention

The NAACP New York State Conference thanks all of our convention
delegates and corporate citizens who joined us. We had more than
300 delegates, members and friends in attendance. And, by all
post-convention calls and letters, the 76th was one of the most
informative and well attended NAACP New York State conventions
in recent years.

STOP THE GUN VIOLENCE RALLY

NAACP New York State Conference President Hazel Dukes spoke at the New Yorkers Against Gun Violence Rally this week. "New York has led the way in passing common sense gun control laws and there are people and organizations that wish to repeal those laws. We came together to send a clear and united voice that we will fight back in the interest of saving our young peoples lives."

FATHER’S DAY STOP & FRISK RALLY

Every year, hundreds of thousands of totally innocent people are stopped, interrogated and humiliated by the NYPD for doing nothing more than walking to the subway or going to school. Last year, the NYPD conducted more than 685,000 street stops, a more than 600 percent increase since Mayor Bloomberg's first year in office. More than 4 million people have been stopped under this administration.
