A Jackson hair salon displays a round, blue window sticker declaring: “We don’t discriminate. If you’re buying, we’re selling," Tuesday, April 22, 2014, in Jackson, Miss.

The group sees this as an effort to push back against a religious-practices bill recently signed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)
