100+ Years

Standing Up for JUSTICE IN Jackson

We've been fighting for Civil Rights and Equality in our communities since the 1920s. We envision an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination.

OUR STRATEGIC FOCUS

WATER JUSTICE & INFRASTRUCTURE

Water access is not optional; it is a basic right. We fight for the investment, accountability, and infrastructure Jackson needs to function and thrive.

Housing & safe communities

Safe housing is not a privilege; it is a foundation. We fight for neighborhoods where families can live, grow, and feel secure in every part of Jackson.

Economic inclusion

Opportunity is not reserved; it must be shared. We fight for an economy that includes every community, not just a few.

civic engagement & voter access

The right to vote is not conditional; it must be protected. We fight to ensure every voice in Jackson is heard, counted, and represented.

education & youth opportunity

Access to opportunity is not luck; it must be built. We fight to ensure young people in Jackson have the support, resources, and pathways to lead.

Justice at the
Freedom Fund

We gather annually to honor the pioneers of progress and ignite the next generation of civil rights leaders. The Freedom Fund Gala is more than an event—it is the engine of our advocacy, sustaining our collective fight for equity across Jackson and beyond. Stand with us as we celebrate the power of community in the heart of the Deep South.
