Democratic Members of the TN House of Representatives have shown bold leadership. I am proud to have the support of my colleagues as our campaign for U.S. Congress in TN-09 presses forward, despite unjust attacks on our democracy and our district.

With everything that is happening, we sat down with @justinjpearson on the podcast to discuss what is happening in Tennessee and around the South. The full episode is live on our podcast @justicefortheseries. It’s time to organize and moblize.

Tennessee lawmakers have passed a new congressional map, breaking up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district: State Rep. Justin Pearson: 'These maps are racist tools of white supremacy at the behest of the most powerful white supremacist, Donald J. Trump'

Yesterday, we re-launched my campaign for U.S. Congress in Memphis’s historic Orange Mound. Lawsuits continue. But whether the courts decide on the old district 9 or the new district 9, our campaign is for anyone who’s been failed by the status quo in TN and across our country.

Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on. This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
Julia Baker@julia_r_baker

House Speaker Cameron Sexton has removed Democratic Caucus members from standing committees until next session due to "disrupting processes" and "creating disorder" during the special session. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/politics/ho…

Democrat Congressional candidate @Justinjpearson: "What we saw yesterday in the state of Tennessee was a political lynching." "It is very much an era of retribution…where 12 to 20 US House seats that are black-majority are at risk of being taken away…by the rise of white supremacy and its attempt to solidify power on behalf of the biggest white supremacist in the United States of America, which is the President."
