Stand with Jackson Residents
Mississippi is looking to unconstitutionally restrict free speech and add judges to oversee issues in Jackson who do not represent the residents. We're fighting to ensure Jackson residents are able to control their own resources such as their water system and local judges and continue to fight for safe, drinking water without being unconstitutionally silenced.

Driving Quality of Life through Data
NAACP and Brookings have partnered on The Black Progress Index, a new analysis of the places where Black people are thriving most, as measured through their life expectancy. In the spirit of W.E.B. Du Bois, we're working to provide insight into the local civic actions that can improve life expectancy outcomes.
