The Memphis Liberation Party fights for worker's rights, environmental protection, civil liberties, and statehood for the people of Memphis. #Liberate901 ⭐️
One of our members was recently placed under arbitrary arrest at a peaceful protest.
We declare unlimited opposition to the Trump-Barr-Strickland regime of arresting political dissenters!
We ask that you join us in solidarity to defend the civil liberties of all Memphians!
We said it at the very beginning of the pandemic and we'll say it again:
Continuing to hold non-violent offenders in disease-ridden cages is cruel and unusual.
It's a nice sentiment, but @GovBillLee will never denounce white supremacists in any meaningful way.
The state of Tennessee is built on disdain and mistreatment of Black and working-class people. Statehood will free Memphis from white supremacist rule.
We stand strongly for peace, justice, and freedom. We believe the only feasible means to these ends is Memphis statehood."
- Preamble of the Memphis Liberation Party constitution.
"The Memphis Liberation Party is a people-powered mass movement for the dignity of Memphis, the protection of her people’s rights and liberties, the promotion of a vibrant and democratic civil society, and the guarantee of her people’s economic security...
Local landlords believe they have a constitutional right to displace thousands of Memphis families.
We believe that all people have the human right to housing!
Spread the word and we'll see you next Saturday at 3pm at the federal building. :)
Make no mistake: we are opponents of Mayor Strickland. However, the people of Memphis consent to his leadership.
You would be hard-pressed to find a TN Governor in recent history having the support of the people of Memphis. #Liberate901
We have no faith in Tennessee's ability or willingness to provide healthcare, education, supplemental income, or any other productive services with money from the CARES Act.
The state does not intend, nor has it ever intended, to use this money to provide relief to the people of Tennessee. Instead, it will use money to fund new police officers. https://t.co/X3GMRLUuaZ
