Typically pursues policies on voting rights and access, criminal justice reform and police accountability, educational equity, economic and workforce opportunity, health care access, fair housing and anti-discrimination protections, and protections for immigrant and civil liberties.
Primarily funded by membership dues, individual donations and fundraising events, foundation and government grants, and occasional corporate or organizational sponsorships.
Affiliated with the National NAACP and local NAACP branches across Virginia; frequent collaborators include the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, civic and civil-rights organizations such as the ACLU, the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, faith-based community leaders, and local advocacy groups.
