Hi there,

Our generous triple match has been extended, which means your donation to Democracy Now! today will be TRIPLED. If you give $10, we'll get $30 to support our independent journalism. Please don’t miss out on this opportunity to triple your impact. Democracy Now! is a free source of independent news for tens of millions of people around the world, but less than 1% of our global audience donates to support our critical reporting. Let’s pick up the percentage! We rely on you for support—not the oil, gas, coal and nuclear companies when we cover the climate crisis or the weapons manufacturers when we cover war. I hope you’ll give as much as you can today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thanks so much.
-Amy Goodman

Mississippi NAACP Challenges GOP Effort to Take Control Over Black-Majority Capital Jackson

HeadlineMar 09, 2023

In Mississippi, the NAACP says it will challenge several GOP-led bills making their way through the Legislature which threaten residents in the majority-Black capital of Jackson by handing state police more power and granting the state control over the city’s troubled water system. We’ll go to Jackson, Mississippi, later in the broadcast to speak with Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and author and activist Makani Themba.
