2012 NAACP DuPage County Branch Candidate Survey
In early July, all political candidates in DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties received a candidate survey from the DuPage County Branch of the NAACP. The survey contained questions regarding the economy, education, criminal justice and affirmative action. “The goal of this survey was simple – to give our membership, and voters, in the counties where we operate, the resources they need to make an informed decision at the ballot box,” says Mario Lambert, President of NAACP, DuPage County Branch.

THE CRISIS MAGAZINE (Fall 2012 Special Issue)
The Crisis is the official publication of the NAACP. It is a quarterly journal of civil rights, history, politics, and culture and seeks to educate and challenge its readers about issues that continue to plague African Americans and other communities of color. For 100 years, The Crisis has been the magazine of opinion and thought leaders, decision makers, peacemakers and justice seekers. It has chronicled, informed, educated, entertained and, in many instances, set the economic, political and social agenda for our nation and its multi-ethnic citizens.
