REACH OUT

REPORT CIVL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

Keep the local NAACP informed of the civil rights violations that you witness. File an official NAACP complaint if this violation has directly impacted you.

In order to track civil rights violations, the NAACP asks St. Mary's County folks to fill out a complaint form and disclaimer every time your civil rights, or the civil rights of others have been violated. Due to the nature of the NAACP organization, your complaint will not be acted upon unless it is completely filled out and your signature appears on every page. Forms can be downloaded in PDF format, printed, filled out, signed, and then mailed to us at:

St. Mary's County NAACP
Post Office Box 189
Lexington Park, MD 20653

Complaints from residents of counties other than St. Mary's County, Maryland, will be referred to their local Branch.St. Mary's County NAACP does not provide legal representation nor give legal advice. But we will attempt to advise you on how you can attain legal help. You can telephone our office (240-317-7047) and leave a message with your name, address, phone number (where we can reach you) and a request for a complaint form. We will mail you a form within a few days.
