The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund is America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice.
LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans.
Who We Are
Voting for Justice is a comprehensive electoral and policy accountability project that advances a transformative vision of change for the front-end justice actors who influence and control our criminal legal system.
What We Do
Our work is designed to educate, equip, empower, and mobilize communities to change the criminal justice system through the ballot box and community engagement to hold officials accountable.
Why We Fight
The U.S. criminal justice system suffers from systemic racial discrimination resulting in the routine violation of constitutional rights, mass incarceration, and the destruction of lives and communities. Communities have the power through the electoral process to transform the system.
Press
We have staff in Washington, D.C., and New York City to handle press inquiries and requests for our experts.
