I was fuming for hours yesterday after TN House Bill 7003, so I decided to channel that anger in a substack article. VOTING has always been life and death. Our grandparents knew it because many of our ancestors paid for it in blood. Please check it and share🙏🏽 open.substack.com/pub/advocacy...

It’s unfortunate that the taint of Hogg is coloring the incredibly inspiring leadership of Pearson. Especially when Pearson has earned his mettle w/out the interference & influence of Hogg. Pearson has stood in the gap for the ppl of TN when others chose silence & complicity. It’s worth review.
