Our Mission

Jackson-Madison County Equity Project, a nonpartisan organization, advocating for equity and justice for marginalized, disenfranchised, and oppressed people living in our community.

Jackson Equity Project is a Fund of the West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation.

Our Work

Our work is advocating, amplifying, supporting, researching, organizing, fundraising, educating, data compiling, and connecting.

Our work is driven by Community Action Committees, made up of Jackson citizens and community leaders already doing good work in their daily lives towards justice and equity. By coming to the same table, we can combine our knowledge, strengths, and resources to work for a more equitable and thriving Jackson & Madison County.

Areas of Community Action: Business Development, Criminal Justice & Civil Advocacy, Education, Fair Housing, Grants/Research Development, Public Relations, Health Disparities, and Workforce Development.
