Established in 1995, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) is a multi-generational network of racial justice and human rights activists and organizers working in more than a dozen cities. Their principles of unity include self-determination and organizing in Black communities. MXGM maintains an extensive network of affiliates and allied organizations.

The Jackson based project is a citywide collaboration of neighborhood associations, residents’ councils, universities, youth groups, faith networks, healthcare providers and policymakers to develop comprehensive food access and land use policies. As a Communities Creating Healthy Environments grantee, MXGM Jackson aims to conduct a detailed scan of the Jackson food and recreation environment, create model tax and financing incentives to facilitate the expansion of healthy food outlets, strengthen collaboration with local farmers and increase outlets for local produce, increase public revenues for recreation and green space, and develop model school site food and recreation policies.
