PROGRAM: ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
The NAACP is dedicated to accelerating economic growth in our communities and eliminating existing racial and ethnic economic disparities.

TAKE ACTION
  1. Get Involved -- Ask your local branch whether Economic Empowerment programs are available, and if
    not, become a part of the solution and volunteer to help establish an Economic Empowerment
    program in your community
  2. Make Informed Choices -- Read the 2006 Economic Reciprocity Report Card and support companies
    that financially support the African American community
  3. Support minority-owned businesses -- Spend your money wisely and support minority-owned
    businesses
  4. Educate yourself -- Read the newspaper and visit the websites listed above to ensure that you are fully
    informed about current financial and economic issues
  5. Share your knowledge -- Talk to your friends and/or children about saving money and acquiring wealth
  6. Speak up for children -- Advocate for the inclusion of a financial literacy component in the public school
    curriculum
