SUMMARY: The Community Drive is currently happening to support a women's shelter, Safe, which provides aid to domestic violence victims in Tupelo, Mississippi. Jackie Smith, president of the Alpac Kappa Alpha sorority, is leading the fundraiser to gather essential items such as towels, bottles, bibs, sheets, and pillows for the shelter. It is crucial for the community to come together and support these victims with basic necessities. Children, like six-year-old Grayson, can also learn about the importance of community service through this initiative. Donations can be made through a QR code providing a wishlist, with items due by March 25th, but will still be accepted after that date.

SUMMARY: A vigil and news conference were held to raise awareness about the case of Dau Mabil, a Sudan native who went missing in March and was later found dead in the Pearl River. Family, friends, and supporters, including the Mississippi NAACP, are frustrated with the handling of the investigation, citing a lack of information and transparency from the Capitol Police. Dau's family, represented by his foster mother and brother, are demanding a thorough investigation and federal intervention. A court ruling prevented Dau's cremation to allow for an independent autopsy. A prayer vigil was also held to honor his life.
