We mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., a lifelong champion for justice and dignity.

His legacy calls us to continue building stronger communities rooted in care and fairness.

Our condolences to his family and all who carry his work forward.

Our work exists because history shows us what happens when systems fail communities and what’s possible when we choose a different path.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor 100 years of remembrance by continuing the work of repair, access, and justice.
