Activism
Jackson Bell has a rich history of using his platform for good. He was the initial organizer in a protest in his home city after the murder of George Floyd. 4000 dollars were raised for various racial justice charities and police estimated 1500 attendees over the course of the day. A few short weeks later the organization that Jackson helped found to host the protest also organized a Juneteenth celebration that hosted black-owned businesses and performers. Jackson has continued this into his college life by phone banking for positive legislation like the PRO act to help working families.
