"What we don't need is a takeover of our city," Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba tells Brianna Keilar why he views a recently passed bill by the state's Republican-controlled House as "anything other than racist."

This is a temporary and imperfect solution, but we ask that you assist us in spreading the word to our residents about this residential trash collection resource. Know that we are exhausting every possibility to secure a garbage collection vendor as soon as possible.

Grateful to have reached a resolution for our residents.

Garbage collection resumes tomorrow (Wednesday, April 19). Please take note of these critical disposal points & share with other residents.

Thanks to everyone who came out to today’s Jacksonians4Jackson mayoral candidate forum and talked with me about your vision for our future. As a proud Jacksonian, I know that it’s the people of Jackson who make this city great. Let’s keep moving our city forward together.

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. Your lessons on service, sacrifice, and love aren’t just memories. They’re the blueprint I follow daily. I'll continue to honor your legacy by serving our community as you did, carrying your spirit forward. Miss you, buddy man.

Gun violence isn’t just a statistic — it shatters our families and our communities. Being mayor gave me the great privilege to stand with Keisha Coleman (of our Office of Violence Prevention and Trauma Recovery) to launch “100 Days of Action” to reclaim our neighborhoods.

Our progress is powered by the people. As a public servant, my purpose is to empower communities — and as mayor, that means democratizing power so every resident has a voice in shaping their future. Thank you Women for Progress for this important conversation.

Grateful for the opportunity to engage with fellow Jacksonians and other mayoral candidates at Jackson State U.! Our collective vision for the future of our city is strengthened by these important conversations — and the energy and commitment from our community inspire me daily.

Heartbroken by the passing of my friend, Sylvester Turner — an extraordinary lawyer, professor, mayor, congressman, and servant of the people. Rest in power, sir. Thank you for your leadership, and my prayers are with your loved ones and your community.

I’ve been blessed to be surrounded by brilliant, powerful women my entire life — including my mother, my sister, my wife, and my daughters. They’re the foundation of my strength, and their love, wisdom, and resilience inspire me every day. #InternationalWomensDay

Anderson United Methodist Church, the church I grew up in, always feels like home. It’s the place that reinforced my commitment to service and sacrifice for the greater good — and I’m committed to continuing the work of building a city that reflects those same values.

My principal purpose has been to democratize power and to champion the collective genius of Jackson’s residents, who truly make our city great.

Let’s go, Tigers! 🐅 Cheering on THEE Jackson State U. men’s basketball team in the SWAC quarterfinals tonight — Coach Mo Williams and the team have the city behind them.

The most enjoyable part of the work that I do: being with the community and engaging with the community. Grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of Jackson.

A fun day with the family and the community at the Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade! One of the largest of its kind in the country — right here in the heart of Jackson — the parade also brings major revenue to our local businesses and boosts our city’s economy. 🍀
