The UAW had tried and failed to organize the Chattanooga VW plant twice before. This time, the workers gave the union a strong victory.

@NCRBNashville Congratulations Executive Director Jill Fitcheard! I have been off of social media for a period, so I am late with this. Thank you @nashville_naacp for recognizing this lady's continued service to the underserved in Nashville!👍🏾🙏🏾😊
@SekouFranklin THIS IS TERRIBLE! ""By failing to reverse the district court's radical decision, the Eighth Circuit has put the Voting Rights Act in jeopardy, tossing aside critical protections that voters fought and died for,' Lakin added in a statement."
@SekouFranklin "PWilson said that some form of reparations, not race neutrality, is the only possible fix. " I agree, but a start should be giving these institutions the millions of dollars that were stolen from them overtime!
It was a honor to serve with Mark Wynn on the Community Oversight Board.

Also, the Mobile Food Pantry Ministry has been active for 13 years. Each pantry provides a week of food for a family of 4, usually around 200 families total! Haven't heard about the final numbers yet, but this was a great day to serve those on the margins in Nashville!🙏🏾
I see hunger every day from my car and from the bench. Hunger is a huge barrier reason why someone appears as a litigant in General Sessions Court. Programs like the Alameda Christian Church Mobile Food Pantry are a big help! So happy to be a volunteer. 100 families fed! #iserv
This is an attack on 134k voters, and the COB employees that had enough faith in Nashville City Government to apply to work for @MNCONashville! Where can I find the complete list of metro departments experiencing employee layoffs? I would not be surprised if the list is 1 dept?
COB Update: A layoff plan for the employees of the COB has been submitted as requested by Metro Legal. The staff will be given a layoff notice in the coming days. Every single employee is a SEIU member (not the ED) and will possibly have to find new employment.
