Event Description

It’s time for our government to put People Over Politics.

Join Mississippi for a Just World (MSJW) for our first People Over Politics (POP) community training in Hinds County. This program is a free, comprehensive legislative advocacy workshop designed to empower everyday Mississippians to make a change in their state.

In this hands-on session, participants will learn:

  • How laws are made in Mississippi
  • How to communicate effectively with legislators
  • How to hold public officials accountable


Ahead of the 2026 legislative session, MSJW and our community partners are hosting a statewide series of POP workshops to equip Mississippians with the tools to advocate for justice, equity, and meaningful change.


As part of the training, participants will receive:

  • A People Over Politics Advocacy Workbook
  • A comprehensive legislative advocacy training
  • A free trip to the Mississippi Capitol during the legislative session to meet and advocate with state legislators on the issues that matter most to them


This is your opportunity to learn, connect, and build power together with Mississippians across the state.

About MSJW

Mississippi for a Just World (MSJW) is a humanitarian organization based in Mississippi that bridges the fight to build a more just world from the Deep South to the Global South. Our goal is to be a living, breathing movement for human rights, deeply rooted in the enduring legacy of Mississippi's human liberation struggle. Across borders and cultures, irrespective of our different political, cultural, and social backgrounds, we are fighting for a world where every individual is empowered, where justice prevails, and where human dignity is non-negotiable.

MSJW was born in 2024 in response to the growing Palestine solidarity movement in Mississippi. We sought to coordinate, inform, and resource the grassroots energy behind human rights movements and anti-war protests across the state. Today, MSJW partners with local, national, and international organizations to train, educate, advocate, research, and base-build towards our shared liberation.
