Reigniting the Fight for Freedom

To meet the needs of Mississippians, our work is informed by Mississippians. Building strong community partnerships is the key to creating change that lasts.

Since the 1960s, Mississippi has played a pivotal role in the fight for civil rights and social justice. Sitting at the forefront of radical shifts, our communities have organized, advocated and marched to secure voting rights and political representation for those who have been denied a voice in the democratic process.

Today, the SPLC honors the legacy of the civil rights icons who came before us by continuing their pursuit of a truly just society, in which every Mississippian is treated with dignity and has access to high-quality education and economic opportunity. Working closely with local organizations, our state office is developing a powerful network of leaders who will fiercely advocate for the resources and policies that can improve the lives of economically vulnerable Mississippians, particularly Black and Brown communities.

Join us as we chart a course for the future of Mississippi. Radical change is once again within our grasp.
