Supporter,

Tennessee House Republicans are once again silencing the voice of
opposition to their extremist agenda. Last night, during a tense debate
over school safety and the need for gun reform, Republicans voted to ban
Rep. Justin Jones – a previous target of Republican attacks – from
speaking or debating on the bills that were being considered for the day
after he criticized Republicans for not including meaningful gun safety
reform while addressing school safety. Today, accomplishing nothing, House
Republicans forced the legislature to adjourn until January.

These are the kinds of extreme tactics Republicans have resorted to when
their agenda is challenged. But we supported the “Tennessee Three”
(including Rep. Jones) when they were previously expelled by House
Republicans, and [ [link removed] ]we won't stand idly by while Republicans continue
their attempts to suppress democracy. People For the American Way is
committed to holding these authoritarian politicians accountable and
ensuring that every voice is heard.

“With every fresh attack against him, Justin Jones proves again why he
is a hero for our times. The far-right Tennessee House leadership can
try to silence Rep. Jones, but they can’t touch his spirit, his
commitment or his integrity. Shame on the Tennessee House for these
racist and undemocratic attacks, which will fail.”

– Svante Myrick, President, People For

[ [link removed] ]We believe in supporting champions of justice like Justin Jones. His
tireless efforts have made a significant impact on issues we passionately
care about. From fighting for affordable health care to advocating for
educational equity, Justin has been a driving force in advancing
progressive policies in Tennessee.

[ [link removed] ]With your help, we can continue supporting Justin Jones and other
Tennessee Democrats who are fighting against injustice and inequality. >>

And while these events may be taking place in Tennessee, we know full well
that other Republican-controlled legislatures around the nation are
watching and taking notes to see just how much they can get away with if
they go unchallenged or change the rules in their favor.

Together, we can build a stronger democracy in Tennessee and around the
nation by supporting leaders like Justin Jones who are unafraid to
challenge Republican obstruction and fight for what is right.

Thank you for your unwavering support,
