## Resource

At just sixteen, Reverend Jarrett Maupin was already leading Phoenix’s National Action Network chapter and eyeing a run for City Council—proving his activism wasn’t a phase. By eighteen, he was campaigning full throttle, taking business calls in salons and rallying at protests, including a 2005 taxi driver march. His Sunday sermons and deep roots in civil rights, shaped by his grandmother Opal Ellis, fueled his relentless drive for justice. Today, he’s a force in Phoenix’s public discourse, tackling police brutality, university policies, and engaging political leaders—showing how one teen’s passion became a lifelong mission.
