    Filing A Complaint With The NAACP

  • The NAACP is not a law firm, does not have a staff of attorneys and does not give legal advice. Completing this form does not constitute fling an official complaint with a legal authority.

    The NAACP is only seeking information to assist you concerning this complain that will help us investigate your complaint and/or refer you to the proper agency, authority or attorney to handle your complaint. 

    Due to staff limitations, we are unable to take complaints over the phone.  All complaints must be submitted by submission of a completed NAACP complaint form. It is our goal to respond to you within 7 – 10 business days.  We will only investigate or make referrals for complaints that are for violations within our purview – civil and human rights violations or discriminatory in nature in keeping with our mission statement. 

    Please know the sheer volume of complaints received prevents the NAACP from pursuing every matter. Our ability to assist is directly related to membership support, which mostly consist of volunteers.

    Be advised that filing a discrimination complaint with the NAACP does not mean that the NAACP will be representing you in any legal matter.  If you believe you have a discrimination claim, you must file a claim with the appropriate State or Federal agency in a timely manner.  Failure to do so may prevent you from pursing a claim in a court of law
