OUR MISSION
The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons.
OUR VISION
The vision of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure a society in which individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.
Let's protect the programs that protect us all
At the heart of our nation’s strength is not wealth — it’s the people. Across every race, background, and community, programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and Veterans benefits are vital lifelines. They uphold the dignity of our elders, support those living in poverty, and honor the sacrifices of our veterans.
Today, these essential programs are under threat. Proposals in Congress and the administration to slash funding would devastate millions — including families right here in Southern Arizona. The Greater Huachuca NAACP stands firmly against any effort to balance budgets on the backs of the most vulnerable.
We must demand a government that prioritizes people over profits. Cutting critical support systems to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy is not just unacceptable — it is unjust.
Join us in speaking out and standing up for those who need these programs the most.
Standing Up for What’s Right: Protect Our Benefits, Protect Our People
Our seniors deserve peace of mind—not cuts.
Thousands of Arizona retirees depend on Social Security to survive. After decades of hard work, no elder should be forced to choose between food, medicine, and rent.
Our veterans kept their promise—we must keep ours.
Southern Arizona, home to Fort Huachuca and countless veterans, must honor their service by safeguarding the benefits they've earned—not stripping them away.
Government should serve the people—not just the wealthy.
When Congress protects tax breaks for the rich while slashing essential programs, working families and small businesses across Cochise County suffer the consequences.
Congress must protect our communities.
Arizona is strongest when we uplift those who’ve served, built, and nurtured our neighborhoods. Let’s fight for policies that preserve dignity, not deepen hardship.
Medicaid Cuts Are Hurting Our Communities—Even When Families Still Qualify
Since the end of pandemic-era protections, over 14 million people have lost Medicaid coverage—including right here in Southern Arizona.
Nationwide, more than 25 million have been dropped.
Over 5 million children are affected.
Most were removed due to paperwork issues, not because they no longer qualified.
Black, Latino, and Native families are bearing the brunt—often twice as likely to lose coverage, even when eligible.
In Cochise County, seniors, veterans, children, and working families rely on Medicaid for basic healthcare, prescriptions, and peace of mind. But many have lost coverage without even knowing it—until it's too late.
The Greater Huachuca NAACP stands with our communities.
We call on state and federal leaders to fix the system, protect access, and ensure no one is left behind because of red tape.
TAKE ACTION
Protect What Matters—No Cuts to Our Lifelines
The strength of Southern Arizona—and our country—comes from our people, not billionaires or big corporations.
Across Cochise County, programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and Veterans’ benefits provide dignity, stability, and peace of mind to:
Seniors who’ve worked hard their entire lives
Veterans who’ve served with honor
Families facing tough times
Children and neighbors in need
These programs are not handouts—they are promises. And right now, those promises are under threat
Congress is considering deep cuts to these critical programs—while protecting tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
If these cuts move forward, it will devastate our communities. Families will lose access to medical care, food assistance, and basic financial security.
We must act now.
The Greater Huachuca NAACP urges all Southern Arizonans to:
📞 Call your elected official

No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans’ benefits, or SNAP.
