Expulsion of Democratic Reps – What do we know? – Join us in Nashville

From our friends at Anderson County Democratic Party

It’s not over yet!

Thank you for standing with us in our fight against the Republican response to the Tennessee Three. We appreciate everyone who has contacted their representatives, but the battle is far from over. We need your help to ensure that the Tennessee Three are not expelled from their positions in the House.

Here is what we know so far:

Tennessee Republicans have filed resolutions to remove Reps. Gloria Johnson (Knoxville), Justin Jones (Nashville), and Justin Pearson (Memphis) from their positions.

The Tennessee House will vote on these resolutions on Thursday morning at 9:00am central.

We need you to take urgent action now:

Call and email as many Tennessee Representatives as possible, and tell them that you support the Tennessee Three and urge them to vote against expulsion. Specifically, please contact Rep. John Ragan and Rep. Ed Butler using the contact details below:

Rep. John Ragan (District 33): rep.john.ragan@capitol.tn.gov, (615) 741-4400

Rep. Ed Butler (District 41): rep.ed.butler@capitol.tn.gov, (615) 741-1260

Join us tonight, April 4th, at 5:00pm EST for a protest at Krutch Park in Knoxville to show your support for the Tennessee Three.

Join us on Thursday morning in Nashville for a protest at 8:00am (Central) to fill the House chambers and let our voices be heard. We will be coordinating with the KnoxDems to get people to Nashville, and more details will follow. Please respond to this email or text one of our Vice-Chairs, Chase Lindsey, at (731) 608-5119 if you are interested in driving or riding to Nashville. (or sign up to ride with the Knoxville group here)

Spread the word! This story has gained national attention on all forms of media, and we need your help to keep it going. Share this email, share our Facebook post, and make some noise!

We cannot let this be how democracy in Tennessee dies. We need you to act now and stand up for the Tennessee Three.

Thank you for your urgent action
