Big win thanks to @BlackClergy901's public letter revealing that @ShelbyTNSheriff denies young people visitation--even from their parents--while in detention. More transparency from SCSO is the bare minimum in securing basic rights for our youth. dailymemphian.com/section/metrop…

MPD solves less than half of all homicides, and in our current murky data landscape, even this info is hard to come by. With budget season coming up, it's time to reevaluate whether we could spend our money to be smart--not tough--on crime. dailymemphian.com/subscriber/sec…

@Justinjpearson is sworn in and back to the People’s business. #TN3
These kids from Glendale Elementary wrote and hand-delivered letters to Gov. Bill Lee’s House asking for gun reform.
The voice of the people in Tennessee’s Distrcit 86, the voice that was unjustly removed, has been reinstated. What they believed to be a crucifixion, initiated a resurrection of a movement to create a democracy that works for the people!
Justin Pearson rejoins the house
These Shelby County Comissioners are a group of leaders who won’t bend, won’t bow, and won’t break under the pressure of unjust oppression! We’re back, and we’re gonna keep fighting!
Invigorated by today’s action. I love getting in good trouble. Then I saw they hung your girl on the wall. Guess it’s a good time to say 1) yes I’m back in Memphis for good and 2) I am not running for office in 2023. But, y’all gonna still see me deep in this work. 🖤✊🏽
Happening NOW: The Tennessee Three make remarks at the National Civil Rights Museum. Attendees will shortly join together to MARCH to the Shelby County Commission.
TODAY, as we mourn with the families of those lost in Nashville & Louisville to gun violence, we won’t be silent! We’ll march from The National Civil Rights Museum to the County Commission in support of, justice, gun violence prevention and Our Representative Justin J. Pearson!
When you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading. “WE SHALL OVERCOME…” Serendipitous, indeed.
This Wednesday at Noon we will Rally and March to tell the Shelby County Commission to @Justinjpearson back to the Statehouse! #SendJustinBack
