    A Measurement of Progress on Issues of Equity and Inclusion in Mississippi. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 2015 Legislative Score Card 7 Commitment to Criminal Justice Reform 8 Extend Equality to All Mississippians 11 Guarantee Freedom of Speech, Expression, Protecting Privacy & Public Access 17 Other Legislative Actions 18 Other Resolutions 18 The Scorecard 19 House of Representatives 20 Senate 25 Notes 27 Introduction Mississippi’s statistics about disparities in education, employment, health, incarceration and other equitable opportunities are all too familiar. Familiarity with the dismal indicators, however, cannot breed acquiescence. This does not have to be the legacy of our state. We do not need governmental leadership nor Mississippi’s citizens to accept being last. Instead, we need courageous leadership with an intentional commitment to equity, a willingness to change the narrative and genuine community engagement. Mississippi is Failing to Thrive. It is time we stop being last. www.aclu-ms.org 3 Mississippi has some of the highest equity disparities in the country. Poverty Mississippi continues to be the poorest state in the nation. • “While working hard, many of Mississippi’s families fall short of economic security. According to an analysis of data from the U.S. Census, approximately 42% of Mississippi’s working families are low-income and 22% of residents live in poverty.” (http://mepconline.org/category/policy-areas/income-working-families) • Alongside poverty, disparity continues to loom. For children the poverty rate is 35%, for senior citizens the poverty rate is 18% and for women the poverty rate is 25.9%. There are 253,000 Black children below 200% poverty.
