The Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus invites the public to a Legislative Hearing examining how the recently passed Federal Budget Bill will impact Mississippi families.
📅 Tuesday, September 30, 2025
🕤 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM
📍 Mississippi State Capitol, Room 113
This important hearing will cover issues vital to our state:
Healthcare
SNAP/TANF
Education
Tax Reform
Child Care
State Budget
You’ll hear directly from Congressman Bennie G. Thompson and leading policy experts including Theresa Lau (SPLC), Carol Burnett (MLICCI), Ruth Friedman (The Century Foundation), John Dillon Harris (Center for MS Health Policy), Christin Calloway and Nsombi Lambright (One Voice), and Lee Anne Robinson (MS Legislative Budget Office).
We encourage community members, advocates, and stakeholders to attend and engage in this critical conversation about the future of Mississippi families.
The One Big Beautiful Bill is more than just numbers on a page—it’s a sweeping federal budget proposal that will shape how Mississippi families live, work, and thrive for years to come. At stake are the dollars that keep food on the table, child care centers open, hospitals running, and classrooms supported. With Mississippi relying on federal funds for more than 40% of its budget, the decisions made in Washington will have an immediate and lasting impact here at home. This hearing is about lifting up those realities, addressing families most affected, and ensuring lawmakers fully understand what is at risk if these cuts move forward.
