Community,

We need you THIS THURSDAY.

Seaside City Council will be voting to move forward with development at Main Gate with KB Bakewell Seaside Venture II, a Black-led development team and a trusted community partner.

There are outside developers and neighboring cities planning to show up to oppose this decision and slow Seaside’s progress. We cannot keep letting others delay our city while development moves forward everywhere else.

Seaside deserves jobs.
Seaside deserves housing.
Seaside deserves real investment.

This item is #10 on the agenda (Business Items).
If you plan to speak, please wait until Item #10 is called, not during general public comment.

Meeting Details:
🗓 Thursday, 2/19/26
 5:00 PM
📍 Seaside City Hall
440 Harcourt Ave
Seaside, CA 93955

If you can’t attend in person, join via Zoom:

MEMBERSHIP DUES UPDATE!

Membership Dues Update

The NAACP National Board has approved an increase in membership tiers effective February 2026. Members who upgrade to a Life Subscribing Membership (Silver, Gold, or Diamond) before March 1, 2026, will be “grandfathered” in at the current rates.

What does this mean?

If you upgrade to a life subscribing membership now and make your first payment, you will be locked in at our current rate until you have completed all payments.

Current Life Membership Rates  

  • Silver Life Subscribing = $75 per year for 10 years ($750) 

If you have already paid off your “Silver Life Membership” you may upgrade to the next tier. 

  • Gold Life Subscribing = $150 per year for 10 years ($1500) 

  • Diamond Life Subscribing = $250 per year for 10 years ($2500) 

Life Membership Rates Starting March 1st 

  • Silver Life Membership – $1000 (or $100 per year for 10 years) 

  • Gold Life Membership – $2000 (or $200 per year for 10 years) 

  • Diamond Life Membership – $3000 (or $300 per year for 10 years) 

We encourage all units to begin communicating this update with your members, families, and individuals interested in upgrading their membership or joining the NAACP. The new membership rates will take effect March 1, 2026. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to secure lifetime members at today’s pricing and continue supporting the mission of equality and justice. 

Best regards,
NAACP NATIONAL Membership Team
