About Us
Mississippi for a Just World (MSJW) is a humanitarian organization based in Mississippi that bridges the fight to build a more just world from the Deep South to the Global South. Our goal is to be a living, breathing movement for human rights, deeply rooted in the enduring legacy of Mississippi's human liberation struggle. Across borders and cultures, irrespective of our different political, cultural and social backgrounds, we are fighting for a world where every individual is empowered, where justice prevails, and where human dignity is non-negotiable.
Our Mission
Rooted in a rich history of resistance, our mission is to serve as champions of human rights from Mississippi to Palestine, to Sudan, to Congo, to Haiti, and to all oppressed people of the world by dismantling systems of harm and injustice through transformative education, collective power building, and political advocacy.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every individual, regardless of their background or circumstance, enjoys fundamental human rights, dignity, and equitable opportunities for a better future. MSJW is committed to fostering collaboration among diverse organizations, working to address the most pressing humanitarian challenges. Through collective action, we aspire to inspire positive change, cultivate empathy, and build bridges of understanding across borders and cultures.
