Join us in the fight for equality and justice for all.

Welcome to the East Chicago NAACP — where action meets purpose. We are a community on the move, reignited and ready to serve. United in strength and guided by justice, we stand together to defend civil rights, protect our freedoms, and uplift every voice that calls East Chicago home.

Our mission is to ensure political, educational, social, and economic equality for all people by dismantling discrimination and empowering our community. We advocate for fairness in employment, education, housing, and justice — standing as a force for accountability and hope in Northwest Indiana.

The East Chicago Branch of the NAACP proudly stands on the shoulders of our founders and the many dedicated leaders who came before us. Their courage and conviction paved the way for progress — and today, we honor their legacy by carrying the torch forward. After years of dormancy, our branch has been reactivated in one of the most challenging political and social climates of our time.
Much like our founders, we face moments that test our unity, resilience, and resolve. Yet, we rise with renewed strength and an unwavering commitment to justice. We are Back in Action — ready to fight for fairness in education, employment, and the trades; to ensure equal opportunities and fair wages; to feed the hungry and uplift the hopeless; and to energize the masses to demand what is right and just for every member of our community. This is our time to act, to serve, and to lead. Together, we continue the movement — for freedom, equality, and dignity for all.
