NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) is a prominent civil and human rights law organization founded in 1940 under Thurgood Marshall. It works to convert the nation's commitment to racial equity into real change through litigation, advocacy, public education, and policy research, aiming to reduce racial disparities and expand democracy. Its activities cover criminal justice, economic justice, education, and political participation, using litigation, advocacy, outreach, monitoring of government activity, coalition building, and fellowships to advance reforms and opportunities for students. The organization identifies the reduction of race-based inequities as a core objective across legal and civic systems. Based in New York, LDF operates as a mid-sized law-focused nonprofit dedicated to serving communities affected by racial injustice. In recent years, it has pursued partnerships and public initiatives to bolster election protections and access to the ballot, including a 2024 collaboration with Delta Sigma Theta to establish poll-monitoring efforts in key states.
