Home One - NAACP - Flint Branch

Vision, Integrity, Sustainability, and Accountability

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. From the ballot box to the classroom, the thousands of dedicated workers, organizers, leaders and members who make up the NAACP continue to fight for social justice for all Americans. From police brutality to voter suppression, Black communities are under attack.

We work to disrupt inequality, dismantle racism, and accelerate change in key areas including criminal justice, health care, education, climate, and the economy. When it comes to civil rights and social justice, we have the unique ability to secure more wins than anyone else. Help make racial equity a reality.

Join Us for our 44th Annual Freedom Fund Gala!

The Flint Branch NAACP is proud to announce its 44th Annual Freedom Fund Dinner, a premier black‑tie gala celebrating community, justice, and the enduring power of collective action. The event will take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at St. Michael’s Conference Center, located at 609 E 5th Ave, Flint, MI 48503.

This year’s theme, “We, The People,” underscores a powerful truth embedded in the opening words of the U.S. Constitution: that the authority of this nation rests not with politicians or the wealthy, but with its people. As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, the NAACP remains steadfast in its mission to secure rights, protections, and opportunities still overdue to many across the country.

The Flint Branch NAACP is honored to welcome Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II as the 2026 keynote speaker. A champion for equity, innovation, and civic engagement, Lt. Governor Gilchrist brings a compelling voice to this year’s celebration of democracy, resilience, and community empowerment.
