An advocate is a person or group that publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy on behalf of others. When it comes to civil rights, the NAACP is your advocate.
That’s why we are here to assist and direct you in your pursuit of addressing and resolving civil and social injustice, backed by the power and voice of the oldest and largest civil rights organization. Our well-connected volunteers have access to officials in city and state government, law enforcement, legal representatives, and similar non-profit organizations to assist you.
Civil Rights Complaints
The NAACP is in place to address civil rights complaints and violations for all citizens from all walks of life—people of color, underserved, unrepresented, and the majority alike. The Treasure Valley Branch of the NAACP is here to make sure the system is working for you, not against you.
If you feel you have experienced a civil rights violation, please contact us with your concerns in writing. We can only accept written complaints. Once received, your complaint will be processed and reviewed by our legal redress team, a committee comprised of local attorneys and law enforcement volunteers, who will determine if your complaint meets the criteria of a civil rights complaint. If your case does meet the criteria, appropriate action will be taken to move your case towards a satisfactory outcome.
The instructions for filing a formal complaint either online or via the mail are listed below:
