A top performing OB/GYN, Shawanda Renee Obey, MD, has been named one of America’s top 100 doctors by the Consumers' Research Council of America, among other accolades. A devoted activist in the area of social justice, Shawanda Renee Obey, MD, spends her free time supporting the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and other equal rights organizations.
Since its founding in 1909, the NAACP has worked to ensure a society where all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race or ethnicity. The organization, which maintains over 2,200 branches across the United States, operates with the support of over two million activists.
Those interested in supporting the NAACP’s fight for equal rights have access to the organization’s Civic Engagement Program. A volunteer program, the effort focuses on increasing Black voter turnout. Volunteers can participate for as little as a few minutes each week, and have access to organizational support that include talking points, call centers, and tools such as community text messaging. Moreover, the NAACP provides each volunteer with lists of names, phone numbers, and addresses, enabling them to conduct targeted outreach.
