Black Voters Urged to Mobilize in Mississippi | Jackson News

Black voters in Mississippi are being urgently mobilized by Congressman Bennie Thompson and Senate candidate Scott Colom ahead of November’s elections, as they warn of Trump’s agenda and looming GOP-led redistricting efforts that could threaten representation. Speaking at a NAACP luncheon in Jackson, both candidates tapped into the historic power of Black churches to organize turnout, distributed voter guides, and directly challenged incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith over her voting record and campaign finances. With the Supreme Court weakening the Voting Rights Act, Mississippi leaders are poised to redraw maps — potentially targeting Thompson’s seat down the line. The message is clear: high turnout now is the only way to defend voting rights and ensure Black voices shape the future.
