I am honored to serve as your President of the Springfield, IL Branch NAACP.
Our theme is “When We Fight Together, We Win“.
We envision an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination.
Theme: “We the People”
We the People these timeless words are more than the opening of our Constitution; they are a call to action, a declaration that power in this nation begins and ends with us.
As members of the NAACP, we understand that “We the People” means all the people — regardless of race, faith, or background. It speaks to our duty to ensure that democracy works for everyone, not just for a few. Our mission has always been rooted in justice, equality, and the unwavering belief that collective action can move mountains.
At a time when voting rights are under attack, when our schools face inequities, and when communities struggle for fairness and opportunity, the words We the People remind us of our shared responsibility. They call us to organize, to speak truth to power, and to stand together for the values that define this nation.
Let us continue to press forward informed, united, and determined to protect what so many before us fought to achieve. The NAACP Illinois State Conference remains committed to defending democracy, advancing equity, and ensuring that every person’s voice is heard and respected.
Because when We the People rise together change happens.
Theodis Pace, President,
NAACP Illinois State Conference

What to the slave is the Fourth of July?
“I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us.”
Sadly, these powerful words from abolitionist Frederick Douglass still resonate today. As our nation celebrates its independence, we are reminded that the promise of liberty and equality still remains unfulfilled for many.
This week, Congress voted to advance President Trump’s “Big, Ugly Bill,” a federal budget bill that threatens the health, well-being, and livelihood of millions of Americans while lining the pockets of billionaires.
The American people won’t forget who stood with them in this critical moment, and who didn’t.
I’m proud of how fiercely we fought to stop this dangerous bill from passing.
But our fight isn’t over. We, the people, still hold the power of our vote.
When it comes time to reelect those who voted against the best interests
of the American public, let’s remind them where WE stand with our voices and our vote.
For over a century, the NAACP has led the charge for civil rights, fighting to
ensure liberty and justice for all, regardless of race, gender, or background.
But progress demands continued action.
Let’s honor the true spirit of independence by continuing to stand up for the
American people with everything we have.
Keep Advancing,
Derrick Johnson
