Rest in Peace Jesse Jackson 🙏

Jesse Jackson 😇🙏✨️

Did you know Jesse Jackson was in scouting? He was a Boy Scout. He was bullied as a child and would then become one the world's most recognisable community leaders as a civil rights activist, human rights activist, a minister and much more.

“Our father was a servant leader – not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement."

"Jesse Louis Jackson (né Burns; October 8, 1941 – February 17, 2026) was an American civil rights activist, politician and ordained Baptist minister. A protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement, he became one of the most prominent civil rights leaders of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. From 1991 to 1997, he served as a shadow delegate and shadow senator for the District of Columbia. He was the father of U.S. Representative Jonathan Jackson and former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr." ~wiki

There is soooooo much more we can write about him but for now, let's honour his memory, his family, what he has done for the country and world.

Thank you to all scouts, parents, leaders and community members who help Troop 33. Couldn't do it without you!!! Happy today and everyday.

✨️🤗🎉 Join me in saying and Happy to EVERYONE who volunteers... whether in , in your or ... all of it matters. 🤗✨️🎉

Thank you for all you do, every hour you spend caring for others, even when and especially when waking up is hard, you are having health issues yourself, days when you wake up and look in the mirror wondering where the years went or if you will hear from your friend/family, when you see what goes on the world and it pains you, when you are working a full time job or two, when you have sick household members, when you feel unseen, when you are carrying others burdens and very few see it... but you STILL CHOOSE to wake up, press on, and .

THAT 👏 IS 👏 POWERFUL 👏

Don't ever forget that.
