"About 9.2 % of the adult citizen population (and 21% of Black adults) in Tennessee are barred from voting because of a felony conviction." theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
Join @Sylvia_Ryerson and me next Friday for a screening of her powerful film, Calls from Home. Let us know you're coming at justcity.org/film and learn more about the film at callsfromhomefilm.com📽️🤩✊
"The analysis found that declining lead exposure probably accounted for roughly 15% of America’s decline in homicides from 1989 to 2014."
"The analysis found that declining lead exposure probably accounted for roughly 15% of America’s decline in homicides from 1989 to 2014."
Sen. Brent Taylor continues to spread misinformation. 1. We were going to sue. 2. We had a very strong case and believe we would have won. 3. We did NOT send a demand letter to the DA for Davidson Co. nor did we negotiate a bail system there. This is simply untrue.
“These groups are fundamentally changing how our judicial system operates in Shelby County.” We are trying! Because a fair system yields accountability and justice. Investments in children, families, and neighborhoods make us safer. 👇does not. dailymemphian.com/section/metros…
This bill is a complete distraction. Just City does not, nor has it ever, had an agreement with any district attorney general. If this bill becomes law, it will not impact us, nor will it have any impact whatsoever on public safety.

“Through collective action, bail funds are a testament to a community’s belief in collective care—a principle starkly absent in the actions of those who would instead repress these funds and the people who support them.”
“Through collective action, bail funds are a testament to a community’s belief in collective care—a principle starkly absent in the actions of those who would instead repress these funds and the people who support them.”
37% of the people in the Shelby County Jail today have NO BOND SET or a bond greater than $500,000. They cannot get out. Judges already have this discretion, and they use it. This proposed constitutional amendment is a political ploy, not an effective response to crime.
“I think it’s highly problematic. I think it’s very likely unconstitutional, but it’s also bad policy.” @SteveMulroy901 Many, many other experts agree. tennesseelookout.com/2024/02/22/rel…

“There’s nothing out there that shows a correlation or a connection of any sort between increasing the rates of pretrial release and the rates of crime.” --Spurgeon Kennedy, vice president of @CJIatCRJ tennesseelookout.com/2024/02/22/rel…
“We need to give these reforms more time to truly realize their benefits to both our criminal justice system and public safety, instead of rashly passing legislation that could leave us dealing with (and paying for) a constitutional challenge.” commercialappeal.com/story/opinion/…
Less lead = less crime "A 2022 meta analysis of about 30 studies found that declining exposures to lead probably accounted for roughly 15% of America’s decline in homicides from 1989-2014." Thanks for this timely reporting @SteimerSays & @MLK50Memphis mlk50.com/2024/02/15/lea…
Judges in TN have all the discretion they need. They can and do set unaffordably high bails. They can and do refuse to set bail in certain instances. This legislative effort is designed to jail more people while they await their day in court. It won't make us safer.

1 in 25 death penalty cases result in a wrongful conviction. We’re very glad to see Kim Kardashian using her reach to draw attention to cases deserving of a second look. We also need more of an emphasis on accuracy during original trials so that celebrity interventions aren’t…
@Tankman79629473 @SenBrentTaylor @joshspickler @bdriesdm @JustCity901 That's ridiculous and not supported by any data, just as the bills being proposed are not supported by any evidence they'll work, in fact to the contrary. What is true is that TN has been trying the same tough on crime approach for decades - and THAT is what's not working!

@CSexton25 @JustCity901 Love how bail now equals accountability. As if people aren’t still going to go through the judicial process. They will. AND, experience abuse- From being held in custody because they were 3 minutes late to the docket, to dying in their cells covered in feces. Thats 201 Poplar.
@CSexton25 @JustCity901 Holding "violent criminals" accountable is one thing. Passing legislation that keeps people in jail without a "conviction" is very different...
PWF is excited to announce it has expanded its grantmaking to include Tennessee! We’re inspired by the existing groundwork and what’s to come, and we hope you’ll join us in cheering on – and investing in – the state's organizing community as they continue to catalyze change.
Good news: We'll use this $100K grant from @PublicWelfare to support our public safety coverage. mlk50.com/2024/01/30/mlk… via @MLK50Memphis
Sen. Raumesh Akbari releases statement on Memphis crime prevention announcement
👏🏼Bail 👏🏼 Is👏🏼Not👏🏼The👏🏼Problem
House Speaker Cameron Sexton is now speaking on what is being proposed: “We are asking for a constitutional amendment for the ballot that gives more discretion” for judges to deny bail
This is great news because Gov. Lee is super concerned about Memphis and crime and he’ll be SO EXCITED when he learns he can just accept Medicaid expansion dollars and make a difference! Yay, y’all!
Crime prevention doesn’t come from over-policing, it comes from community care. A study published by the Health Economics journal found that ACA Medicaid expansion resulted in statistically significant reductions of burglary, vehicle theft, homicide, robbery, and assault.
Now watch the right refuse to let facts get in the way of... white nationalism... I mean a good argument.
