November 3, 2020 is a day that can forever change the way Mississippians and non-Mississippians see this state. We have a civic duty to plan, show up, and safely cast our votes. To assist in this effort, Jarrius Adams, a man of many hats, joins us to discuss voter suppression, protection, and the Nov 3rd Ballot.
