The NAACP believes all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race. If you have experienced or witnessed an incident of bias, bigotry, hate, or extremism, please fill out our incident intake form below. We will do our best to investigate your situation and respond to you quickly. If this is an emergency, please dial 911.
When you submit your incident through this form, you will be aiding the efforts of NAACP and other advocates to monitor hate incidents across the country. This form does not report directly to law enforcement. If you wish to seek assistance from law enforcement, please contact local law enforcement to report a crime or file a complaint.
By sharing what you experienced or witnessed, you can educate the public, empower others, show service providers where help is needed, and strengthen advocacy efforts for hate crimes response and prevention.
We will not share any of your personal information outside our coalition.
Thank you for your courage in coming forward.
