Contacting Orgs: NAACP Hollywood Bureau
I hope you guys aren’t sick of contacting orgs yet because here’s another org! XD And she’s an important one so get ready...
This is the NAACP Hollywood Bureau. Read more about them here. Briefly, they are the branch of the NAACP that focuses on minority representation in the media (quantity and quality)-- the TLA controversy should be directly in their sights.
We’ve discovered that the best way to reach them is through fax or snail mail. E-mail works too-- there’s just no guarantee it will actually be read promptly since they get hundreds of emails a day. They get fewer faxes and letters and are able to go through them faster. If we’re lucky, some of our letters could even end up at the desk of the executive director! So, please send a paper letter or fax if you can, but at the very least, send an e-mail.
In your letter, please describe the situation, how it has personally affected you, and how it impacts their constituency--all people of color in the United States. Encourage them to take action by releasing their own statement, working with MANAA, or providing us with a statement to put on our website.
Here’s the contact info:
Vic Bulluck
Executive Director
NAACP Hollywood Bureau
Fax: (323) 938-5045
Email: hollywoodbureau@naacpnet.org
Address: 4929 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 310, Los Angeles, CA 90010
We HIGHLY encourage everyone in the community to contact the NAACP Hollywood Bureau. If you haven't done anything yet, or you'd like to do more, we believe this is one of the best things you could do at this time.
Again, please FAX or MAIL a letter to the NAACP. If you'd like, you can also e-mail them, but in this situation a faxed or written letter is ten times more effective. It would be great if you could do both, but doing something is better than doing nothing.
Let's show the NAACP that we're serious about this issue, that it means a lot to all of us, and that their actions will mean a lot to us, too. Ganbate ne! XD
(Please use this post to share your letters so that we have some idea of how many letters are making their way to the NAACP. It’s easy to find under the “contacts” tag!)
