At Serve Kindness we believe that no one should be discriminated against based on race, and that everyone should be able to live freely and not worry about acts of racism and prejudice in their daily lives. The recent national events left us heart broken and we, like so many of you, are searching for ways to make a difference. One response we are taking today is to add the NAACP as a charity partner.
The NAACP is a civil rights organization founded in 1909 whose mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons. Their strategic plan for the 21st century includes six NAACP Game Changers to address the major areas of inequality facing African Americans including: Economic sustainability, Education, Health, Public Safety & Criminal Justice, Voting Rights and Political Representation, and Expanding Youth and Young Adult Engagement.
