the does not expect us to agree with the that are espoused in these , but they expect us to agree that these are principled decisions. And on the , when most of these have no whatsoever, that really, really complicates the story, especially when, as we've seen over the last five or six years, the looks far more .

The movement the Justins built with Tennesseans who care about democracy is not going back in the bottle. Sound up. This is amazing.

Supporters march with Pearson singing “Ain’t gonna let Republicans turn me around” (based on freedom song / spiritual featured In Selma)

In my 3rd video of 2023, I talk about the Shelbyville Community Remembrance Project Coalition, formed in 2019 to memorialize the six Black men murdered by in the county (that we know of). Through the SCRPC, as of 2021, Shelbyville is the first town in Kentucky to officially memorialize lynching victims.

American Civil Liberties Union - ACLU Magazine Spring 2023

Jay A. Fernandez: The Future of Bail Reform

"75% of people being held in city and county jails around the US have not been convicted of any crime."

"The Busby Case, along with
another ACLU of TN lawsuit challenging police spying on activists in Memphis, and the DA race connected several local issues to make it an opportune moment to achieve bail reform in Shelby County. All strengthened the collective power of the community coalition the ACLU of TN brought together to tackle the bail system. Over the past few months, the coalition has been implementing the changes in deeply entrenched systems staffed by people with decades of experience working in a particular model."

"The ACLU will pull together a playbook of best practices for future reform efforts elsewhere. 'One of the great things about this agreement is that we have provided for data to be released publicly and directly to us.'"
