NAACP Launches #WEAREDONEDYING Campaign
The NAACP has launched a campaign entitled #WeAreDoneDying, aimed at exposing the inequities embedded into American systems.

The NAACP has launched a campaign entitled #WeAreDoneDying, aimed at exposing the inequities embedded into the American healthcare system and the country at large.
“From COVID-19 to running while Black in America, the abuse faced by people of color, particularly African Americans is devastating.” said the organization in a press release.
WeAreDoneDying campaign
The campaign is a call-to-action and highlights the NAACP’s policy interests and supported legislation for African Americans and people of color.
The organization will use integrated and interactive content to create actionable steps for people to feel empowered by demanding action from their state’s elected officials on issues such as healthcare, education, criminal justice, economic justice, and voting rights.
“With crumbling economic infrastructure, our community members face tough choices as access to food, good jobs, and a quality education slips further away,” said Derrick Johnson, president and CEO, NAACP.
“These issues are compounded by the lack of strong leadership from the White House. In the absence of adequate guidance, Black lives are adversely affected. We will no longer stand idle as our people suffer discrimination, marginalization, and are offered as disposable for poor decisions by this Administration.”
The campaign will also focus on COVID-19 and the rising cases in African American communities.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the deep-seated racial disparity in America embedded in all aspects of life,” said Leon W. Russell, Chairman, NAACP Board of Directors.
“The NAACP Empowerment Programs’ 111 years of advocacy and fighting for the rights of Black people positions us to lead the fight for our community’s interest during this time of uncertainty.”
