John,

Not long ago, I asked you to split a donation between [ [link removed] ]Rep. Justin Jones
of Nashville and Rep. Justin Pearson of Memphis, Tennessee. Now with their
special elections in just one day, I’m asking you to make a donation
again.

Here’s why.

Republicans in the Tennessee House of Representatives expelled Rep. Jones
and Rep. Pearson from the chamber for standing up to the NRA and
protesting gun violence after a mass shooter slaughtered 6 people in a
Nashville school — including 3 nine-year old children.

Following the shooting, Reps. Jones and Pearson stood alongside more than
1,000 youth protesters who staged a peaceful protest at the state Capitol
for gun safety legislation.

Republicans called these young protesters “insurrectionists,” and the GOP
House Speaker went so far as to say it was “at least equivalent, maybe
worse” than the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Soon after, Reps. Jones and Pearson were singled out for an expulsion vote
along with one of their white Democratic colleagues who joined in the
protest.

But only Reps. Pearson and Jones were expelled. Tennessee Republicans
tried to send a very clear message with that vote: That two young Black
men, democratically elected by their constituents to represent them in the
Capitol, can be silenced in an authoritarian show of force against
dissent.

It was an affront to democracy and one of the most blatantly authoritarian
and unconscionable actions taken by Republicans yet, expulsion from
office.

Following their expulsions, local governments in Nashville and Memphis
appointed Reps. Jones and Pearson to the seats that Republicans had forced
them to vacate — and now their special elections to fill those seats for
the remainder of the term are just 24 hours away.

I’m running for the United States Senate to defend and strengthen our
democracy. But today, I’m asking you to help support two other defenders
of democracy — Tennessee Democrats like Justin Jones and Justin Pearson
need your help in the final 24 hours of their special elections.

Tennessee Republicans made a choice that day: To continue an ugly legacy
of discrimination and denial of political representation to Black
Tennesseans.

We can make a different choice. Rep. Justin Jones and Rep. Justin Pearson
are both running in a special election TOMORROW to continue representing
their districts. Let’s give them a bullhorn.
