Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights activist and former shadow senator, is now on a form of life support after being hospitalized last week for a neurodegenerative condition, according to multiple reports.

CNN reported that Jackson, 84, is receiving a form of life support to stabilize his blood pressure. He was previously admitted to a local hospital for progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s that he has faced for over a decade.
