NAACP Sioux Falls Branch 4102-B | September Community Update ✊🏾🗳️

Thank you to everyone who joined our September General Body Meeting!

We were honored to welcome Tatiana Chance of The Pasque Project, who shared an insightful presentation on reproductive health, reproductive rights, and reproductive justice in South Dakota. We learned how reproductive justice extends beyond healthcare access to include every person's right to have children, not have children, and raise families in safe, healthy communities.

The Sioux Falls Mobile Market is back on the road this week bringing affordable grocery stores to food deserts across town.

Sioux Falls' first mobile grocery store opened back in the fall of 2023 as a pilot project under Sioux Falls Thrive – supported in part by a $400,000 grant from the City of Sioux Falls. The goal was to help address food insecurity, which impacts about 1 in 10 people in Minnehaha County.

That initial market closed in June 2025 when the funding model proved unsustainable. Just over a year later, the market is back with a smaller truck, a new business model and the same mission to meet people where they are with accessible, affordable groceries.

The Mobile Market is in the process of becoming its own nonprofit, and though it'll operate on its own, the inventory will all come from Fair Market, which offers discounted groceries that are near-dated, post-dated, discontinued, label changes, overstocked, or excess inventory.

, we celebrate Labor Day. The holiday honors the triumphs of U.S. workers. It originated in the late 19th century, when labor activists advocated for a federal holiday to recognize that workers strengthen and enhance the nation's prosperity and well-being.

Today, on , we honor the workers who keep our communities moving, growing, and thriving.

For generations, Black workers have been at the center of the fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, economic opportunity, and the right to be treated with dignity on the job.

Labor rights are civil rights. And the fight for an economy where everyone can work, thrive, and build a future is far from over.

This Labor Day, we recognize the hard work Black Americans put into building this country and in shaping the American Labor Movement. From Mary McLeod Bethune to A. Philip Randolph, Black people have always fought to protect workers' rights, secure fair wages, and improve working conditions. Because of their efforts, our fight for economic equity and racial justice is stronger!

Last night, the president got on national television and proceeded to lie to the American people. Again.

We will not be divided by fear or deceived by these lies. Read more from MS NOW: https://www.ms.now/liveblog/trump-primetime-speech-voting-machines-election-live-updates
