The text is titled "Jackson Activism", and reads as follows: "What we Do: Organize protests and rallies in Jackson, Michigan, as part of national activist efforts. Set-Up: This isn’t a formal group. Rather, this is a network of community members who pool time, energy, skills, resources, and more! Though some people fall more naturally into leadership roles, there is no solid hierarchy. Folks do what they can, when they can."

If you're wondering about the people behind some of the #JacksonMI area protests, here's some basic info!

While I've sort of become the face of these events, I'm far from the only one involved :D As always, thank you to everyone who makes these protest possible!
