An effort to create a statewide board to study domestic violence deaths, to uncover trends, and guide opportunities for intervention, support and policy unanimously passed both legislative bodies. We’ll learn about domestic violence law and resources for those affected from our guests from the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Vera Johnson, Program Specialist and Luis Montgomery, Compliance and Public Policy Specialist.

Where can you get more information about our guests? mcadv.org from there you can read past newsletters, learn about their resources, and contact the staff for assistance or more information.

If you want to track a bill going through our legislature, how can you? legislature.ms.gov   From there you can search for a “measure” from either chamber, contact your representative, or watch a live committee meeting.

Some municipal elections have so many primary candidates that there might be a runoff in some races. Those Primary Runoff elections will be April 22nd. If you did not get registered to vote yet, you’ve got 3 weeks to register before any runoff elections.
