Education
Our education committee shares information about our national and chapter organization’s history, goals, and events. We support educators and promote a curriculum that highlights the contributions of minority groups. It’s important for everyone to recognize the role people of color have played in our nation’s history and the ongoing fight for justice. We invite our members to mentor youth through the PASS and Martinsburg Initiative programs. If you’d like to volunteer, please email Fay Stump.
Parachute Project
We strive to help those who have been incarcerated with a safer landing to life outside of prison. We accept donations of money, backpacks and essentials for survival to assist with this transition. Donations can be left at Catholic Charities at 224 South Queen Street in Martinsburg, WV.
Membership
Membership is vital for organizations focused on local issues. To grow our numbers, the membership committee believes we should advocate for the rights of at-risk community members. To help increase our membership, please contact Richard Mier (ricardo-y-rita@hotmail.com).
Seeking Truth
The Martinsburg-Berkeley County NAACP, Branch 3242 invites you to contribute to the work of our project entitled: “SEEKING TRUTH: White Supremacy and the Ku Klux Klan in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia since World War I.” If you have any information about the Ku Klux Klan in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and would like to share it with the committee, please send an email to: seekingtruthepwv@gmail.com
