Mississippi on the Potomac 2020 was a great success!

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire staff of the Mississippi Center for Justice, thank you so much for your generous support in honor of our mutual friend and 2020 Mississippi on the Potomac honoree, Donald B. Verrilli, Jr., and our vital work for the people of Mississippi.

 

Achieving justice is non-negotiable; it is our mission. Because of your generosity, we will continue fighting to advance racial, economic, and social justice. We will continue our crucial role in helping Mississippians build better lives for a better future.

 

We especially thank our sponsors, supporters, partners, and friends who helped make MCJ’s first-ever virtual event so memorable:
