The Freedom Fund Gala raises critical support for the NAACP&rsquo;s work to advance civil rights, social justice, public safety as a civil right, economic opportunity, and equality for all. This year&rsquo;s theme, We, The People, is a call to defend our rights, strengthen our communities, and continue the work toward justice and equality for all. We are proud to honor our 2026 Freedom Fund Gala recipients for their outstanding leadership and service, including The Honorable Barbara Lee, Mayor of Oakland, and Gordon Greenwood, Attorney at Kazan, McClain, Satterley &amp; Greenwood, as recipients of the Civil Rights Presidential Award. The evening will also feature Dr. Jacqueline Thompson, Senior Pastor of Allen Temple Baptist Church, as our keynote speaker, and Bryan Gallo, Journalist and Meteorologist at KTVU, as our special emcee. We will also recognize outstanding leaders in Political Action, Public Affairs, Education, Health, Community, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship, along with two special NAACP award recipients.
