The 2026 Mississippi Truth, Poverty and Democracy Tour was two days of hands-on action 🤝, work that continues onward.
Through this experience, we heard from communities, advocates and decision-makers on the issues impacting Mississippians and took to rural communities to help make a difference.
This tour is a reminder — and an inspiration — for us all to head to the polls this midterm election and vote with our community's needs in mind 🗳️.
