Lawrence O’Donnell summed it up perfectly last night—we are living in a world where commentators are saying the LIAR of the debate is somehow the winner. trump has a total disrespect for the presidency, our democracy, and our country. We cannot hand our country and our highest office over to the liar. @lawrence_odonnell #ridinwithbiden
I bowed in humble submission and gratitude to a champion of civil rights, a torch bearer for justice, and a freedom fighter who stayed on the battlefield every single day. It was an honor of my life to have received the Torch from Rev. James Lawson at the LA Fed this year. Oceana and I were indeed star struck. My heart hurts that he has transitioned from this life to life eternal but my soul is thankful that we got a chance to tell him THANK YOU! He was one of God’s best servants and I pray that I can continue his legacy in Memphis. The same fiery passion he had during the civil rights movement was on full display when he spoke and presented our award. Rev. Lawson, I thank you and pray that you’ll watch over us in our great cloud of witnesses! I’m also praying a special blessing over your entire family. In Love and Service, Rep. Justin J. Pearson

After watching the presidential debate, it is even more clear that our Democracy is on the ballot this November. We must do everything we can to make sure trump doesn’t win. This means voting Democrat up and down the ballot, volunteering, and encouraging your friends and family to do the same. Come November, we MUST win—our Democracy is at stake! #presidentialdebate #biden #voteblue
Our team introduced 40 bills focused on eradicating gun violence, alleviating poverty, protecting the environment, increasing access to healthcare & public education, protecting our seniors, and increasing access across the board for Tennesseans on behalf of District 86 and Tennessee! We are so proud of our constituents for helping develop these amazing bills, and we will fight even harder next year to pass them. We ain’t letting nobody turn us around. Let’s keep going!! ✊🏾 https://x.com/anitawadhwani/status/1803075973346152904?s=46&t=bBN2H2k7wSWBAoCrqNpqKQ
Betcha didn’t know I can get down like this 😉 Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love to dance! 🕺🏾💙 If you think I mop the House floor with TN republicans, imagine what I’ll do on the dance floor 🤣
Happy 4th of July! Today marks the day when we became a nation 248 years ago. I can’t help but reflect on the fact that a tyrant running for president is trying to undo 248 years of democracy and decades of legal precedent. We must fight back, like we always have. Justice must always be our North Star, our beacon, our guide. This 4th of July, let’s continue to fight and march together in this Movement for Justice! 🇺🇸💫💙
My thanks to the Angel-Ancestors & elders 60 years ago who believed, fought, & were martyred to make the 1964 Civil Rights Act possible. It shouldn’t take so much loss to get closer to justice. This is our time and this is our moment to fight for the America we deserve!
Wow! There’s a first time for everything! Thanks so much @ohhmysweetz for making these delicious short bread cookies with ME on them! And the Afro tasted amazing 💙

Thank you to the Florida Democratic Black Caucus for inviting me to speak at their 41st Conference and Gala. The events and The People were uplifting and inspiring! These Democrats are standing and fighting for Democracy and Justice despite the toxic Republican-dominated political climate. Florida GOP are fighting tooth and nail to maintain the status quo and their power. As Justice warriors and Democrats, we are in this fight together to realize a nation where Justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream. We are fighting to preserve the power of The People and the rights of everyone to live in a country that recognizes their humanity equally and passes just laws to protect the most vulnerable and uplift the marginalized and oppressed.

Today, I attended the Memphis Crime Commission’s press conference with Senator London Lamar and my constituent Coleman Thompson to announce this year’s Annual Walk Against Gun Violence happening this Saturday, June 15! Step off is at 8:30am at Melrose High School. Join us for this 1.8 mile walk to raise awareness of the need to repeal the permitless carry and other injurious gun laws that disproportionately and negatively impact Memphis and Shelby County! I hope to see you there, let’s do this!
I am grateful for the Rev. James Lawson for sharing his love, wisdom, and light with the world. He is deeply missed, and his legacy will continue on in the foot soldiers of our and future generations.
