03 Civil rights and police accountability

Detroit

Advocacy

Business hours

The nation's largest NAACP branch reviews civil rights complaints and reports of discrimination from the public and, when appropriate, refers people to possible legal representation or other agencies.

What it is

The Detroit Branch NAACP is a long-standing civil rights membership organization based in New Center. It advocates on policing, voting, housing, education and economic justice issues across the city.

Why it matters

For many Detroiters it is a trusted first call after an incident of discrimination or police mistreatment. Its complaint intake can connect you with resources and add community weight to your concern.

What to know first

Use the online 'File a Complaint' or 'Report Discrimination' forms on its website, or call the office. Remember it is an advocacy group, not a law office, so it will not act as your attorney.

Limits and eligibility

The branch does not provide legal representation; it reviews your matter and may refer you to a lawyer, with any fee arrangement decided between you and that attorney.

What to have ready

  • Your contact information
  • Date and description of the incident
  • Who was involved and where it happened
  • Any supporting documents
