NAACP Providence Branch
Legal Redress

The NAACP Providence Branch Legal Redress committee works to address discrimination and create reconciliation. The committee is comprised of members of the NAACP Providence Branch with support from local attorneys and citizens who are knowledgeable in many areas.

Our purpose is to address discrimination in any form in an attempt to create reconciliation. Our responsibilities include:

  • Investigating cases of racism and discrimination reported to us
  • Supervising all litigation in which the unit is interested
  • Keeping the National Office and the Branch informed on the progress of every case

SUBMIT A COMPLAINT

If you believe that you or someone you know have experienced discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, native origin, sexual orientation or other basis, you are encouraged to submit a Complaint of Discrimination Form. While the Legal Redress Committee cannot offer legal advice, we can be partners in mediation or refer complainants to attorneys.

VOLUNTEER

The Legal Redress committee of the NAACP Providence Branch is in great need of additional lawyer and law student support, and community members working across various industries to address systemic racial injustice and inequality and fulfill the NAACP mission to “ensure the . . . equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.”
