The Mecca Initiative

Come join us!

With SNAP funding issues and the demand on food pantries right now, we want to remind you that both our Downtown and Avondale libraries offer after school meals for kids and teens throughout the week. Thank you to YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga and The Chattanooga Public Library Foundation for making these meals possible!

Congratulations to all of the nominees!!

Transparency matters. In this video, I walk through the budget amendment, what it means for first responders, services, and seniors—and why I voted Yes. My goals are to support raises for first responders, ensure that all the burden does not fall on taxpayers, and continue to invest in District 9 where it counts. Let me know your thoughts. #Chattanooga

It cost $0.00 to be kind to someone. We need more kindness in this world. Let’s bring back the days where the community does for the community . Our family would like to share our blessings and donate $100 in groceries to a family each month for the rest of 2025. To be considered please submit your name and contact information and a number between 1-100 in our inbox (The Mecca Initiative). Drawings will be every 10th of the month. The first drawing is September 10th. There won’t be any pictures, post,and the winner or participants will not be made public.

Donald Trump just appeared on Meet the Press and called me a "low-IQ person." Let me respond directly: Donald, for you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure have my name in your mouth a lot. And every time you say it, you're reminding the world that you're terrified of smart, bold, Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking. With Trump attacking me directly, I need your support to amplify my message. Pitch in $20 or more to help me respond to Trump and tell him what we think of him and his insults. -Jasmine ❤️
