🕊️ Remembering Rev. Jesse Jackson (1941–2026)
Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson — a giant of the civil rights movement and a lifelong champion for justice, dignity, and democracy.
Rev. Jackson dedicated his life to organizing, marching, and speaking truth to power. From the fight for voting rights to the struggle for economic justice, he reminded generations that progress is possible when ordinary people come together and demand more.
His courage, faith, and unwavering commitment to equality helped shape the America we know, and the America we are still fighting to build.
May we carry his legacy forward in our work, in our organizing, and in our commitment to a more just North Carolina and a more inclusive democracy.
Rest in power, Rev. Jackson.
