Every family’s got that reunion tee that lives rent-free in the photo album.

You know the ones — bright colors, bold fonts, maybe even a nickname or two across the back.

Got a classic family fit? Share a photo of your family memories.

We all want to make more of those memories, which is why it’s important that we talk to our friends and loved ones about how to***co affects our health and help them find their reason to quit.

We’ve seen firsthand what to***co has done to our families, and we have the wisdom to stop it.

Whether we share stories, mention small tips that helped us quit, or just encourage someone to try quitting again, we owe it to the next generation to pass that knowledge on.

It’s our responsibility to break the deadly hold to***co has on our communities, and it starts with a conversation.

Talking about quitting isn’t always easy, but starting the conversation is the first step toward change.

We heard from people who reached out to family, loved ones, friends, and teammates with care and patience. Some quit va**ng, and others opened up to the idea of getting help.

It’s not about applying pressure but offering support, understanding, and being there when they’re ready.

You can make a difference by simply talking. Learn how to start the conversation at projectbatjackson.org/start-a-conversation.

Sometimes the conversation that changes everything isn't the one you expect.

One Jackson woman smoked for over 30 years. Her breakthrough came when she realized she was spending $450 every month on ci******es while living on a fixed income.

Her solution was simple: $10 on the bathroom mirror for every smoke-free day. That growing pile of money became her motivation through the hardest cravings.

Today, she's saved over $5,000 and can breathe better than she has in decades. To***co companies target our communities, exploiting us for profit and leaving us to hold the bag. It's time for us to protect our people, culture, and future.

The first week of quitting was the hardest part.

Even with patches and gum, the cravings were overwhelming. But she had found her motivation, and watched it grow on her bathroom mirror every single day.

$10, then $20, then $40. That growing stack of bills gave her something to look forward to when everything else felt impossible
Today, she's to***co-free and breathing better than she has in decades. Sometimes the smallest step leads to the biggest change.

Game day means everything to us — the energy, the community, the memories we make together.

But to***co companies want to steal these moments from our families. They target our communities, knowing we gather for games, celebrations, and good times.

When we come together to protect each other, we keep what matters most — our health, our people, and our culture.

Touchdowns, tailgates, and good vibes — football season is here!

It’s not just about the game; it’s about the moments we share with those who matter most.

Predatory corporations like Big To***co thrive when we stay silent about the harm their products cause to the people and communities we love. Not anymore.

Whether we’re celebrating a win or laughing over snacks, let’s make every second count.

Miss Bettye steps up because she's seen too many people left without the care they need.

"It's important to the community," she says. And she's right. People like Miss Bettye are filling the gaps that others leave behind.

The older generation shows us the power of resilience and the importance of protecting our communities. When we step up for each other, we protect what matters most.

Tiffany shows up for this work every day because she believes "there is so much beauty in the world."

When to***co tries to steal the beauty from our communities, we refuse to stay silent. We see the beauty in every conversation that sparks change, in every person who finds their reason to quit, and in every family that gets to stay together.

To***co companies target our communities, exploiting us for profit and leaving us to hold the bag. It's time for us to protect our people, culture, and future.

First week of college, and we’re already building.

Healthy changes start with helpful conversations. We need to talk about the impact to***co has on our communities and what we can do about it.

Together, we can build healthier lives and stronger communities.

🎓 First day, fresh start.

From first-day fits to late-night talks in the dorm, every moment matters.

🫂Our ancestors and elders showed us the power of resilience and the importance of protecting our communities. Now it’s our turn, and we can start by talking about the negative impact to***co has on our health and communities.

This year, show up for the laughs, the lessons, and the in-between moments that shape who you’re becoming. So you don’t miss the memories that last forever.

✨Visit projectbatjackson.org/start-a-conversation to learn how to talk about what matters most.
