Okaloosa NAACP needs your help with ‘game changers’

FORT WALTON BEACH — The Okaloosa County NAACP seeks local residents' help in developing a master work plan.

The organization will focus on “the five NAACP Game Changers" — economic sustainability, education, health, public safety and criminal justice, and voting rights and political representation — a news release said.

The initiative kicked off last week when the NAACP co-sponsored a Fort Walton Beach city council candidate forum.

Its next program is a town hall Saturday, at which the community can speak to law enforcement officers and Okaloosa County school district representatives. It's scheduled for 10-11:30 a.m. at the Chester Pruitt Life Center.

A third event — a free financial workshop conducted by Wells Fargo — is 10 a.m. to noon March 7 at the Chester Pruitt Life Center, the release said.
