Safe Water in Jackson

When all the schools are closed, and no one can get a drink of water or take a shower in their homes, we know the Jackson water situation has reached the crucial stage. That's where we are right now. And that's why we need you to take action by encouraging legislators to collaborate with School Board members, with MAE members and others to solve Jackson's water issues for our students and our future.

I believe in giving back to my community, whether on campus or at a local school, because it starts a cycle...We have a responsibility to support one another.
