Justice 4 Jackson. Help us fix Jackson’s Water System and Build more autonomy and people power in the city.

Jackson, Mississippi Is Currently Suffering Through An Unprecedented Water Crisis. After Decades Of Systematic And Intentional Neglect Due To Environmental Racism, Capital Flight And Deindustrialization, The City’s Water System Has Collapsed.

This Collapse Didn’t Have To Happen. As A Result Of The City’s Declining Tax Base Over The Decade, It Cannot Pay For The Repairs By Itself. Nor Should It Have To. Jackson Is The Capitol Of The State Of Mississippi, Which Means It Is The Base Of State Government And Resources. In Addition, It Is Also Where The Federal Government’s Administrative Resources In The State Are Concentrated. These Entities Use The Water System, Just Like The Cities Over 160,000, Predominantly Black Residents Do. They Must Pay Their Fair Share In Overhauling And Modernizing The System.
