MCJ in Action

MCJ 2025 Legislative Agenda

MCJ would like to introduce our 2025 Legislative Agenda. As always, our legislative agenda is not just a set of priorities crafted in isolation. This agenda reflects the work we’ve done throughout the years in close collaboration with our community, through the direct services we’ve provided to individuals and families, and the issues that have been brought to us by those we serve. At the heart of our legislative priorities are the voices of community members. The insights we gain through our work guide our advocacy efforts and help us champion policies that will have a meaningful impact on the lives of all Mississippians.

This year we focus on key areas of affirmative legislative policy we will pursue, the issues that have risen to the forefront, and our goals to change policy to create positive, lasting change. Throughout the legislative session follow here to get updates on the bills we’re tracking.
