When children in a predominantly Black city are without in-person schooling & Black folks are without a plan for drinking water in a state capital, this is why environmental justice is a racial justice issue. Infrastructure funding needs to be prioritized in places like Jackson.

A Step Toward True Student Debt Relief
We organized. We rallied. We shared your stories and worked the policy routes. Now President Joe Biden has cancelled up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for other student loan borrowers. Once student loan payments resume in 2023, they will be capped at 5% of a borrower's monthly income.

Addressing the Water Crisis in Jackson, MS
The Jackson crisis is part of "the conversations about how Black communities are deprioritized when it comes to ensuring that there's infrastructure planning, ensuring there is resiliency built within the communities," said Abre' Conner, director of environmental and climate justice at the NAACP.
