About Us

About The NAACP

Established in 1909, the NAACP Vallejo Branch #1081 caters to the communities of Vallejo, Benicia, American Canyon, Napa, Saint Helena, and Angwin, California. As one of the nation’s oldest grassroots civil rights organizations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is dedicated to serving the community. Our focus includes educating people on voter registration, the significance of civil rights, and housing. We have excelled in collaboration with local, state, and national leaders, working towards advancing the organization by advocating for laws that promote fairness and equality for African Americans.

We advocate, agitate, and litigate for the civil rights due to Black America.

In our cities, schools, companies, and courtrooms, we are the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells, Thurgood Marshall, and many other giants.
