The NAACP organization will seek common ground to work with President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.
In the 2024 election cycle, the NAACP spent $20 million to get out the vote and mobilize 14.5 million Black voters.
While the organization did not and does not endorse candidates, the group has agreed to work to advance policies that they believe support the advancement of Black and Brown Americans.
“Our resolve remains stronger than ever as we advocate for policies that dismantle systemic injustices and support the American dream. This new chapter presents an opportunity to chart a course that unites Americans through integrity, understanding, and inclusion,” Johnson said on Wednesday.
“Where there is common ground, we will strive to collaborate with the President-elect and his administration. The NAACP is loyal not to politicians, but to policies that allow us to keep advancing, no matter what,” Johnson added.
