Every step toward economic security gives Black women in Mississippi more freedom to pursue their dreams for themselves and their families. In 2024, we built momentum for Medicaid expansion and advocated for the passage of Presumptive Medicaid Eligibility for expecting mothers. While Black women have always shown resilience and determination to thrive in Mississippi, these initiatives can help families achieve even greater security and opportunity. Your support is crucial—get engaged and take your seat at the decision-making table. Together, we can drive change that benefits all Mississippi families.
