The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) exists to achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color.

​Since its inception, the Vancouver Branch has continued its efforts to improve equality and justice in our community.  Wherever there is a need, we are there to advocate for equal treatment and justice for all people.  Our successes are in-part  due to collaboration with and the support of  like-minded individuals and organizations in our community who share our dream and goal; a world where the American dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the accepted rather than exceptional.
