NAACP

A SEASON FOR REFLECTION

 

The Greater Texarkana Texas Branch of the NAACP has had a busy year, addressing issues important to the Texarkana Community. Unsatisfactory Independent School District (ISD) report cards, food insecurity, claims of police brutality, unfair housing, discriminatory public works, economic development, community healthcare initiatives, fair elections, and voter registration are just a few of these areas.

​​

The remaining weeks of 2025, we would like our members and the community at large to set aside hurry, scurry, and worry and enjoy family and friends. Set aside anxiety and hurriedness that often come with the Christmas Season and the dawning of a new year.

​

This is also the Advent season, which encourages us to do self-examination, to pause, to reflect, and meditate on our faith journey as we light candles of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.

​

This season invites all of us to do greater works of compassion, justice, peace, and love in this divided and hurting world. We must also let go of old hurts, jealousies, and missed opportunities and look forward to the coming year as another opportunity to accomplish great things!

​

Join or gift a membership to the Greater Texarkana Branch to support its mission for social justice and equality!

 

Service Above Self,
