HR 72 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Mississippi Workers' Center for Human Rights; commend on 30th anniversary.

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) honoring the Mississippi Workers' Center for Human Rights (MWC) on its 30th anniversary. It recognizes the organization’s work since 1996 supporting low-wage workers, particularly in Mississippi’s Delta region, through legal advocacy, education (like its "Knowledge is Power!" manual), and community programs to improve workplace conditions and combat discrimination. The resolution has no binding effect - it simply expresses legislative praise for the Center’s advocacy on behalf of marginalized workers and its role in promoting dignity and equal rights. It does not create new policies, provide funding, or directly affect any individuals or entities beyond symbolic recognition.
