Across the South, lawmakers are moving to weaken our votes. Not on our watch.

We are standing up, showing up, and fighting back. We’re joining the Mississippi Fights Back! In this episode of Native Land Pod, we present the Rally for Voting Rights in Jackson, MS, held on May 20, 2026.

Our vote is our power, and fair representation is worth fighting for. It’s time to show lawmakers that we won’t let our voices be silenced. Will you stand with us?
