The NAACP Metuchen-Edison Area Branch (MEAB) is a local extension of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Founded in 1942, the MEAB branch is dedicated to advocating for social justice, equality, and the elimination of racial discrimination in the Metuchen and Edison communities.

Our mission is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights for all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. We work tirelessly to promote civil rights and social justice through community programs, legal advocacy, and public education.

The MEAB branch is committed to empowering our community through voter registration drives, educational seminars, and youth engagement programs. We collaborate with local organizations, government entities, and individuals to foster a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive regardless of race.

Join us in our fight for justice and equality. Your support and participation are vital to our ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable community. For more information, visit our website at www.naacpmeab.org or follow us on social media to stay updated on our activities and events.
