Be sure to check out the Groundwork Instagram account at 6:30 PM ET today. We will be hosting this year’s FIRST Groundwork TV with our guest Arekia Bennett-Scott, Executive Director of Mississippi Votes. With everything going on in Jackson right now, you won’t want to miss it.

Here are just a few of the topics we will be discussing tonight:

• The story behind the formation of Mississippi Votes
• Mississippi’s rich organizing history and how it inspires the work being done across the country today
• Recent news from the state:
• Jackson’s water crisis
• Brett Favre and the welfare scandal
• Recent moves by the MS state legislature to create a white-led, unelected court system in majority-Black Jackson
