Mrs. Welchlin you are doing a better than excellent job in educating, serving, changing, and inspiring the people of MS and across the country! You are an effective voice and a bright bright light for many!! Keep shining!! 🌟🌟🌟
She is incredibly generous. She has probably accepted that the hard and heartfelt work that she is doing will not bear abundant fruit within her lifetime. She has a strong sense of justice and determination to move the boulder in the right direction. I think her grandchildren will live in a Mississippi that has recovered from bigotry and stereotyping and prejudice. Mississippians of conscience….get behind this woman and help to push!
oh, is that right? you should try living in a black neighborhood or a black-run city--like Jackson--and then you'll BEG for some of that old-time "repression."
We desperately need UNIFORM FEDERAL standards for how states conduct elections - registering requirements and methods, no excuse mail-in voting, number of early voting days, number of polling places to eliminate extremely long lines at the polls, etc, etc. If states want representatives in D.C. to champion their interests then they should be required to play by federal rules to elect them.
Yes, My Sister!!! This is a powerful interview!! Soo proud of the work of the MS Black Women Roundtable!! Keep Fighting!!! I am with you!! Because “When we fight, we win!” ✊🏽
This whole situation is a stain on this country. Makes me heart hurt to know that in 2024, people don't even have the right to a voice. Keep fighting the good fight.
I VOTED 🗳️ early in Chicago! WE’RE NOT GOING BACK! VOTE 🗳️ for people who you can hold accountable, negotiate with for change and VOTE 🗳️ out of office! 🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️
Mississippian here. I talked to a few ride share drivers and my sons. They and me too don't have faith or hope for change here. We feel that it is controlled and nothing ever helps except for the few.
I hear your heartbreak and know You have a great deal of personal experience that makes it all feel so hopeless. I do believe that people will continue to fight and win and change the world for the better. I am sorry for your pain and struggles. For too long too many of us have felt invisible and voiceless. Please know You are cared for and I hear You and consider You important and worth fighting for. I will not give up and will alwayz work to contribute to a more just and Loving world, along with so many other people I know. May our Love and works ripple out far enough to somehow reach and bless You too. Please remember You deserve good things.🙏🏽❤️🦋
I'm 68 and it is difficult to see the backward slide America has taken. This Supreme Court has been doing great damage to the working class people. The election of Obama was a great hope for so many of us, but for others, it was a signal that their time and their power might be slipping away, and they've been fighting in every dirty and underhanded way to hold on to that power and prevent any change that most of us would welcome and consider positive. Please don't give up hope because that's exactly what these folks trying to take our freedom away want to happen. Trumpism is filled with hateful, racist rhetoric and negativity, encouraging violence and bad behavior. We have to continue to fight against this anger and misinformation and keep pushing for the direction we want our states and our country to move towards. I truly appreciate this woman following her calling. She knows she has an uphill battle in Mississippi, but she is definitely up for that challenge. I think our young people are more politically aware than ever and will work hard to get big money and corruption out of our political system and our government. I place my faith in these new, young voters. May we all keep the faith 🕊🍀🍀🕊
oh? you want some "hope for change"...like the perennial Democrat seat-holder Bennie Thompson? or the series of Democrat crooks who have run Jackson into the ground? they will continue ruining everything they touch no matter if there's an R or a D in office nationally.
This makes me so angry! Please thank this brave woman for caring for her fellow citizens!! Everyone that can, needs to vote! I was fortunate to be able to vote early, I'm in Wisconsin. I voted blue all the way!! 💙🗳🇺🇸💙🗳🇺🇸
Mail in and early voting should be a national/federal right, and supported by voting law - outrageous that Mississippi still makes it so hard to vote, and seems so obviously racially motivated, since it is state w/ highest Black citizens. It's same old southern state segregation and prejudice that needs to finally change in 2024!
what the hell are you talking about? black people in Mississippi are perfectly free to vote for whatever horrible crooked black politician they want to: they do it every year. why else do you think Jackson--and every other black-run city in the state--is an utter shithole?
Democrat states should start a southern state refuge program to help black and brown people break the cycle of living in the former Confederate states.
Ms. State is still in a slave situation. I don't understand why the US Government hasn't intervened in this injustice perpetrated on the citizens of MS.
Thank this lady for her brave work in this uphill fight against oppression by their State.
Thank you for the important work that you do!
Mrs. Welchlin you are doing a better than excellent job in educating, serving, changing, and inspiring the people of MS and across the country! You are an effective voice and a bright bright light for many!! Keep shining!! 🌟🌟🌟
I respect this woman so much. It's so hard to live in such a repressive state.

Wow, Mississipi GOD Damn! That's f@cked up
This is not a surprise re MS

It's same old southern state segregation and prejudice that needs to finally change in 2024!
what the hell are you talking about?
black people in Mississippi are perfectly free to vote for whatever horrible crooked black politician they want to:
they do it every year.
why else do you think Jackson--and every other black-run city in the state--is an utter shithole?
You all have a lawsuit if you are willing to fight.
They need Marc Elias. He is the Ben Crump of voting rights.
Yes, he is and Democracy Docket!
Democrat states should start a southern state refuge program to help black and brown people break the cycle of living in the former Confederate states.
Great Information....Thank u!!!
Oh gosh, they held classes back in the 60s during the Civil Rights Era to educate people about their rights.
Wow!
Ms. State is still in a slave situation. I don't understand why the US Government hasn't intervened in this injustice perpetrated on the citizens of MS.
‘Axed’ is not ‘asked’. Wouldn’t hurt to lose that. Polishing the diamond.
Why is there no early voting , in person voting in Mississippi I don’t understand they don’t have it yet maybe 😊one day
Did MS purge the voters roster? One would have to reregister!
Okay, you answered or just responded to my question
Please people, do your due diligence. Hear BOTH sides and choose your heart. Do not let politics cheat you. God Bless, God Speed.
Alabama is the same
❤❤❤
4 More Days I hope you are ALLOWED VOTE ! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 ????? IS MISSISSIPI A MAGA /REPUBLICAN STATE.
