The NAACP use its Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committees throughout all of its units across the Nation to disseminate the identified resources, services, and programs to its members who are veterans and their families. The NAACP, through its national and state conventions, and regional conferences, continue to raise the level of awareness of the American citizenry of the need to support our veterans when they return back into our communities.
The NAACP advocates for economic empowerment, safe housing, and mental health resources for Black veterans, active military and their families. It is critical that Black Veterans receive fair and equitable treatment. This is especially true for those serving in the military.
