While we monitored various issues related to our mission during the recent Mississippi legislative session, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc., Central Mississippi Chapter supported matters concerning pay equity and domestic violence through raising awareness.
We celebrate House Bill 695 Domestic Violence Fund which helps stop the violence by removing the matching funds requirement for the State Domestic Violence Fund. The bill was signed into law Gov. Tate Reeves.
Mississippi, however, is the only state without a equal pay law; therefore we will continue to support legislation purporting requirement of equal pay for equal work by women and men.
