Join us virtually or in-person at The Drive-In Theater at Carraway Village (with optional boxed dinner) to support the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP’s efforts to work toward racially just and equitable communities through organized and accountable advocacy.

For the in-person viewing, gates will open at 6pm and the program will air on the big screen at 7pm.

The Freedom Fund Banquet is the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP’s primary fundraiser, supporting programming, activism and outreach, as well as branch scholarships, our social-justice internship program, BIPOC economic development efforts, and voter education and advocacy.

Our keynote speaker this year is Nsé Ufot, the Chief Executive Officer of the New Georgia Project (NGP) and its affiliate, New Georgia Project Action Fund (NGP AF). Nsé leads both organizations with a data-informed approach and a commitment to developing tools that use technology with the goal of making it easier for every voter to engage in every election. Nsé and her team are also developing Georgia’s home-grown talent by training and organizing local activists across the state. She has dedicated her life and career to working on civil, human and workers’ rights issues and leads two organizations whose complementary aim is to strengthen Georgia’s democracy. Under Nsé’s leadership, NGP has registered over 500,000 eligible Georgians to vote and has no plans of slowing down.
