The Case for the Campaign
The case for the Campaign for Southern Echo is the case for Social justice in Mississippi and throughout the Southeast region. It is the context of Southern Echo’s work: the opportunity for African-Americans, Latinos, and low wealth white communities, to have the information, skills, and organization they need to participate effectively in the formation of public policy at every level of government.
