The We Are All Mississippi Coalition is hosting a series of town hall meetings, titled "Community Conversations," in response to discrimination in Mississippi. Meetings will take place throughout May and early June in the following cities: Biloxi, Hattiesburg, McComb, Natchez, Greenville, Holly Springs, Tupelo, Columbus, Meridian, and Jackson.
These town halls serve as an open space for communities to share concerns, ask questions, and get answers about the meaning of religious liberty, the importance of non-discrimination polices, and the need to change the flag.
All meetings are free and open to the public.
