Indivisible DeSoto MS Puts Epstein Files on Billboard in Southaven
HERNANDO, Miss. – The activist group Indivisible DeSoto MS has stepped up its visibility campaign in DeSoto County, moving from courthouse demonstrations to digital billboards along Interstate 55.
The group, which formed in May 2025 as part of the national Indivisible movement, announced that it has purchased billboard space near the Landers Center in Southaven. The message calls for the release of the “Epstein files,” the trove of court documents and testimony tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
For the past several weeks, Indivisible DeSoto MS members have been a regular presence in front of the DeSoto County Courthouse in Hernando. The billboard marks a new stage in the group’s activism, which it says is designed to push for government transparency on an issue of bipartisan concern.
“This bi-partisan issue needs resolution, not postponement nor evasion. Congress needs to take action,” said Kelly Jacobs, chair of Indivisible DeSoto MS. “With this billboard, we’re putting ‘Release The Epstein Files’ on blast to our neighbors in the Mid-South. We have all been promised this information in its entirety. A judge has ordered that the Epstein files be released, but the information remains hidden from taxpayers by Congressional inaction.”
The billboard ad, according to the group, will run for four weeks and rotate every 64 seconds for eight seconds at a time.
The “Epstein files” refer to documents connected to Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, including flight logs, depositions, and victim testimony. Some files were unsealed beginning in 2019 as part of lawsuits involving Epstein’s accusers, and more documents have been released in recent years. Advocates argue the records are a window into how Epstein built influence and evaded accountability.
Epstein, a financier with powerful connections, pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida. He was arrested again in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges involving minors but died a month later in a New York jail, a death ruled a suicide.
Indivisible DeSoto MS, like other Mississippi chapters of the national Indivisible movement, focuses on increasing civic engagement and countering political authoritarianism. The billboard represents the group’s highest-profile action since its founding.
