March To Governor’s Mansion

Hundreds of equality advocates, rights organizations, and leaders demanding a repeal of the state’s discriminatory H.B. 1523 during a rally on the steps of the state capitol yesterday.

The march to the governor’s mansion culminated in a rally where advocates called on Governor Phil Bryant, Lutinent Governor Tate Reeves and house speaker Philip Gunn to repeal of the discriminatory measure before it goes into effect on July 1.

Gov. Bryant and state lawmakers are under increasingly intense pressure to repeal H.B. 1523.

More than 75 leading CEOS and business leaders are urging Governor Bryant to repeal the law that they say is bad for business and bad for Mississippi.
