Justice For Our Voting Rights Part 2: The State of Our Nation ft. Justin J Pearson
from JUSTICE FOR: The Series · host justicefortheseries
Justice For Our Voting Rights Part 2: The State of Our Nation is a powerful live conversation on the attack against voting rights, Black political power, and democracy in America. Hosted by Attorney Gerald Griggs and Kiandria Demone, this episode features State Rep. Justin J. Pearson, who has been on the front line after Tennessee passed a new congressional map that splits Memphis and threatens the political voice of a majority-Black city. Rep. Pearson called the vote a “political lynching,” saying it set Tennessee back over 150 years and represented a racist, reckless attack on Black political power. This conversation will break down why redistricting is not just lines on a map — it is about representation, resources, power, and whose voices get heard. The episode will also address the human side of the fight, including reports that protesters were detained during the special session, including Rep. Pearson’s brother. From protest and People Power to the historical weight of the viral “boy” moment, this conversation will unpack what happens when Black leadership refuses to be silenced. This is more than a Tennessee issue. It is a warning for Georgia, the South, and the nation. Justice For Our Voting Rights Part 2 is a call to organize, protect the vote, educate our communities, and fight back with strategy. #JusticeForOurVotingRights #JusticeForTheSeries #JustinJPearson #VotingRights #BlackPoliticalPower #ProtectTheVote #PeoplePower #Redistricting #TennesseePolitics
