The NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, is calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Donald Trump, marking the first time in history that the group has called for the removal of a sitting U.S. president.

The organization, founded in 1909, demanded “urgent action” in response to President Trump’s “deteriorating health and increasingly delusional behavior.”

NAACP President Derrick Johnson: The NAACP is calling on athletes coming out of high school not to attend any state-funded schools of states that have moved to minimize our right to vote. The NAACP will fight in solidarity with the CBC to ensure that we have representation, and if we don't, we will withhold the talent that plays on the football field on the basketball court in this moment.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson said what a lot of folks have understood for a long time: if these states want Black talent on the field and on the court while actively working to suppress Black political power at the ballot box, that contradiction deserves to be challenged.

You can’t cash checks off Black bodies, celebrate Black athletic excellence, pack stadiums, sell jerseys, and then support systems that make it harder for those same communities to have representation and a voice. If our labor, talent, and cultural influence are valuable, then our rights better be too.
