The NAACP’s Fight for Democracy: Patrice Willoughby on 2024, Project 2025 & Black Voter Power

For over a century, the NAACP has been a driving force in the fight for civil rights, shaping American democracy through groundbreaking legal victories, grassroots activism, and political advocacy. From dismantling segregation in Brown v. Board of Education to championing the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, the NAACP’s impact is undeniable. And today, their fight continues. In this episode, I sit down with Patrice Willoughby, Chief of Policy and Legislative Affairs at the NAACP, for a powerful conversation about the organization's modern-day advocacy. We discuss their efforts to protect democracy during the 2024 presidential cycle, their response to Project 2025, and their strategy to mobilize Black voters. We also dive into the Kamala Harris campaign, the evolving role of Black women in politics, and how future campaigns can authentically engage with Black communities.
