Join us on Saturday, December 13, for our second Hinds County People Over Politics Training!

People Over Politics (POP) is a free, comprehensive legislative advocacy training designed to teach everyday Mississippians about how laws are made, how to communicate effectively with legislators, and, most importantly, how to hold public officials accountable. 

Ahead of the 2026 legislative session, MSJW and our community partners will be hosting a series of free workshops to help train community members to be their own advocates. Please bring the whole family breakfast, lunch, and childcare provided!

As part of this program, you will receive a comprehensive legislative training, an advocacy workbook, and a free trip to the Mississippi Capitol during the legislative session to meet and advocate to your legislators about issues that matter to you.

It’s time for our government to put People Over Politics. Be a part of making change in Mississippi.
