At 84 years old, Jackson is being treated for progressive supranuclear palsy, a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >rare neurological disorder similar<\/a> to Parkinson&#8217;s disease that he has battled for over a decade. Reports indicate that while he has responded somewhat to medication, he experienced a significant drop in blood pressure recently, necessitating life support to stabilize him. Jackson is well known for founding teh Rainbow PUSH Coalition in 1971, a social justice organization based in Chicago, which he led until 2023. He also made two unsuccessful runs for the democratic presidential nomination in the 1980s and served as a shadow senator for D.C.,a non-voting position focused on advocacy. Despite stepping down from leadership roles, Jackson remained active in politics, notably appearing at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in support of Vice President Kamala Harris.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Left-wing activist Jesse Jackson now on a form of life support after hospitalization<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2401820\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rev. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jesse-jackson\">Jesse Jackson<\/a>, a civil rights activist and former shadow D.C. senator, is now on a form of life support after being hospitalized last week for a neurodegenerative condition, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n<p>CNN <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/11\/16\/us\/reverend-jesse-jackson-hospitalized-psp\">reported<\/a> that Jackson, 84, is receiving a form of life support to stabilize his blood pressure.
