The Peekskill NAACP branch wants to reaffirm its stand for social justice for those we are serving, fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. We must reinforce the importance of standing together; united for the rights of the people, whether you are on the left or the right side....We must stand tall to fight against the violence and war that is around the world because, as locals, we must put people in office who can promote peace not just in our community but around the world. It is so important for us to exercise our voice by standing tall to advocate for what is right for those who are not able to speak for themselves.
