Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings! The revolution will be intersectional and we will NOT be silenced. If you are interested in joining the campus movement for social justice, feel free to reach out to us!

To become a member, the cost is $10 per academic year. Click here: https://naacp.org. You will then receive a membership card at the address you put down, and will be eligible for NAACP discounts at any participating locations (such as museums and other historical sites). Please ensure you put the zip code of Indiana University of Pennsylvania when applying for membership.

Paid members are also allowed to be committee chairmen, attend trips/events for a lower or adjusted cost (mostly free), and vote during our elections.

This organization is now about being active and using our voice when things are unfair/unjust. Whether it is registering students to vote, doing protests and sit-ins, or marching in Indiana, or on campus, we fight for justice.

The rest is up to you. #PowerToThePeople, we will press for a change!
