Message from our President 


Greetings!

I am truly excited and ready to serve as the new president for the Riverside NAACP Branch. Blessed with having served over 25 years in school administration, it has equipped me with effective training in working with teams to develop and meet missions and goals. It is now time to share this blessing with our community and it is an honor to do so. Serving as Vice President under our beloved past president, the late Woodie Rucker Hughes, for the past ten years has provided lots of opportunities to collaborate with community/government partners and receive extensive hours of training on game-changing strategies to promote the advancement of civil rights work and to build advocacy capacity in local communities. I am humbled for the opportunity to lead the Riverside Branch of the oldest  civil rights organization in the country —the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) — with the mission 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. 

As your branch President, our Executive Committee along with myself is committed to continuing the steadfast work to meet this mission in Riverside County.  We invite you to join our team by becoming a member! 

Please join our next General Membership meeting, which meets every third Monday in the Stratton Center located at Bordwell Park in Riverside California at 6 p.m. 

Ready to Serve, 

Dr. Regina Patton Stell
President, Riverside Branch NAACP

Covid-19 Pastor’s Toolkit

Building Resilient Communities is Partnering with the NAACP Riverside Branch

WE WALK BY FAITH
COVID-19 Vaccination Toolkit

Greetings Pastors,

We are so excited to share the new tool kit to help Pastors discuss Covid-19. This toolkit was created as a resource for churches in the Black Community. We created the kit as a repository for Covid-19 information and advisory updates about Covid-19.

The agencies that created this toolkit believe and stand on the premise that we Walk by Faith and Not by Sight. The toolkit is a compilation of statistics and personal testimonies that will hopefully be able to springboard your messages as we continually navigate the pandemic.

It is our plan to update the toolkit on a regular basis and provide you with access to those revised kits.

In the next phase, we hope to compile interviews of Pastors sharing how they and their congregations have navigated this pandemic. We will continue to update the infographics given to us by the county health departments and COVID-19 local and national experts.

We are very thankful for the partnership we have with the Riverside University Health System – Public Health Equity team, the African American Vaccine Equity Collaborative, and our local Pastors.

The Riverside Branch of the NAACP continues to prioritize promoting vaccinations, testing, and COVID safety precautions.

Thank you for continuing to partner with us as we WALK BY FAITH TOGETHER.

Dr. Regina Patton Stell
NAACP Riverside Branch
