NAACP President Derrick Johnson accused the nation’s president of believing in a “fascist playbook” and attacking the nation’s “democracy” and “civil rights.”

For the first time in 116 years, the sitting president won’t be invited to the NAACP National Convention. The organization’s president and CEO, Derrick Johnson, explained that this decision is mainly due to what he calls President Trump’s “un-American” executive orders.

The theme for the 2025 NAACP convention is “The Fierce Urgency of Now,” and includes free events for non-members to attend.
