A MEMBER OF OUR MISSISSIPPI FAMILY NEEDS OUR SUPPORT & SOLIDARITY!!!

Pedro Alvarez is a 30-year-old Afro-Latino husband and father of 2. He bought some property with a home in Moselle, MS with the hopes of moving his family there and farming the land. Moselle is in Jones County in an area with known white supremacist group activity. Since Pedro bought the property in April 2019, the home has been vandalized four times-- two times just within the past week-- and valuable farming equipment and tools have been stolen.

Last week, the home was trashed with electrical wires ripped out, and the word ‘Nigger’ was spray painted in his carport. This morning, Pedro arrived at the property to find the home flooded by running water. He has reported each incident to Jones County Sheriff’s Department, but no one has been held accountable.

It’s time for us to show whoever is trying to get Pedro out of Moselle that we have his back! MRC and our partners are organizing community volunteers to clean up the property and provide legal, security and humanitarian support for Pedro and his family. Pedro’s financial resources have been drained by the repeated theft and vandalism of his property. We need security cameras installed and resources to get the home repaired.

Please donate what you can to our mutual aid network here with a note stating “Pedro.” All funds will go directly to Pedro and his family for their protection and home repairs.
