Rainbow/PUSH leadership

In July 2023, Rev. Jesse Jackson announced his plans to step down as the leader of Rainbow/PUSH, due to advanced age and health complications.[4] He was succeeded by Dallas minister Frederick Haynes III. In April 2024, Haynes resigned.[5] At the time, Yusef served as Chief Operating Officer and shifted to a greater leadership role in the organization.[6]

In April 2026, two months after the death of his father, Jackson was named president and CEO of Rainbow Push.[7][8]
