Health-the naacp health program promotes equality in health care for african americans and seeks to address the disparities between the quality of care received by african americans and other groups.

Climate justice-this program seeks to reduce racial disparities among communities affected by national disasters, environmental pollution, and other characteristics of global warming. Criminal justice-the criminal justice program addresses promoting alliances, legislation and racial disparities within the criminal justice system by initiatives that positively impact inmate recidivism, ex-felon re-enfranchisement and re-employment.
