Crisis in Mississippi Featuring Tysianna Marino
Friday, 16 April, 2021
What happens when a crisis strikes in Mississippi? MS Millennial Tysianna Marino joins the Roundtable to discuss what it means to be from Mississippi and discuss how her experiences growing up in the south have shaped her national advocacy efforts. Tysianna Marino is a Labor Rights Lobbyist in Washington, DC where she works with members of Congress and their staff to enact legislation that uplifts America's working families. Tysianna was born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Pascagoula, MS by two working-class Black women: her mom and grandmother. As a student of public policy, Tysianna has always observed national policy issues through the lens of a Mississippi native. Her policy work is centered around her belief that Mississippi reflects the nation's harshest policy failures and that implementing progressive policy changes in Mississippi will lead to broader progress in the nation as a whole. February 2021 Tysianna Twitter thread stirred up a conversation online about how the Federal Government responds to crisis in Mississippi both historically and presently, evidenced by the Jackson Water Crisis. Tysianna joins us for an episode of the Roundtable to talk more about what inspired her thoughts and the response to her thread.
