Today is about freedom, progress, and joy. 🌟

​Juneteenth marks a monumental turning point in our history, but it's also a living celebration of community power.

​At One Voice, our mission is rooted in the very spirit of this day:

​Lifting up traditionally silenced communities.

​Building local leadership from the ground up.

​Fighting for a fair and equal voice in public policy.

​We don't just look back at history today; we carry it forward in the work we do every single day to ensure healthy, thriving, and empowered neighborhoods.

​Happy Juneteenth! Let's keep moving forward together. ❤️💛🖤

One Voice and our partners operate the non-partisan election protection hotline year-round to assist community members as they exercise their fundamental right to vote. Questions about how these changes might impact you, or if you’ve received notice that you’ve been placed in pending status? Call us at 1-888-601-VOTE for help and any questions you may have.

Starting on July 1, 2026, voters who are flagged as noncitizens will be required to provide documentation verifying their citizenship status, such as a U.S. passport or a birth certificate, within a 30-day window or they will be placed on the inactive list.
If this happens to you, or someone you know, call our Election Protection Hotline. We can help.

One Voice and partners showed up and represented in a BIG way today at the Rally for Our Representation as a part of the MS Rapid Response Coalition. Rain didn’t stop one thing. We came and did what we intended to do, BE HEARD, GET INTO GOOD TROUBLE & MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE, and we won’t stop here.

Rain won't stop us! ☔ Mississippi Fights Back is happening tomorrow, May 20th — and we've got rain sites ready so NOTHING slows us down.

📍 10AM Press Conference → War Memorial Auditorium (if rain)
📍 12PM Rally + Media Briefing → Jackson Convention Center (if rain)
📍 6:30PM Strategy Session → Mt. Helm Baptist Church (indoors!)

The march from Old Capitol to New Capitol goes on rain or shine. Come ready to move. RSVP at VRArally.ms

Because no such legal requirement existed, the Court found the state lacked sufficient justification for using race as a factor in drawing its map.
