The state of Tennessee does not require a permit to carry a firearm. Doesn’t matter if it’s a rifle, a shotgun, or a handgun.
Doesn’t matter whether you carry openly or concealed.
They don’t care.
But if you’re a mom, in a courtroom, protesting gun violence, and you’re holding a sign them good ol’ boys just don’t like… guess what — you’re going to jail.
This is NOT what Democracy looks like. So we fight.
And moms WILL win.
Because when it comes to keeping our kids safe, there is no other option.

Henry "Box" Brown, the 19th century enslaved man from Virginia (later a noted abolitionist speaker), escaped to freedom by mailing himself in a wooden crate.

“if you have never been deprived of your liberty, as I was, you cannot realize the power of that hope of freedom.”

—Henry "Box" Brown escaped to freedom at the age of 33 by arranging to have himself mailed in a wooden crate in 1849 to abolitionists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Brown was hired out by his master in Richmond, Virginia, and worked in a tobacco factory, renting a house where he and his wife lived with their children. Brown had also been paying his wife's master not to sell his family, but the man betrayed Brown, selling pregnant Nancy and their three children to a different slave owner.

With the help of James C. A. Smith, a free black man, and a sympathetic white shoemaker named Samuel A. Smith, Brown devised a plan to have himself shipped in a box to a free state by the Adams Express Company, known for its confidentiality and efficiency.Brown paid $86 (out of his savings of $166) to Samuel Smith. Smith went to Philadelphia to consult with members of Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society on how to accomplish the escape, meeting with minister James Miller McKim, William Still, and Cyrus Burleigh. He corresponded with them to work out the details after returning to Richmond. They advised him to mail the box to the office of Quaker merchant Passmore Williamson, who was active with the Vigilance Committee.

To get out of work the day he was to escape, Brown burned his hand to the bone with sulfuric acid. The box that Brown was shipped n was 3ft long by 2ft 8 inches deep by 2ft wide and displayed the words "dry goods" on it. It was lined with baize, a coarse woolen cloth, and he carried only a small portion of water and a few biscuits. There was a single hole cut for air and it was nailed & tied with straps. Brown later wrote that his uncertain method of travel was worth the risk: "if you have never been deprived of your liberty, as I was, you cannot realize the power of that hope of freedom, which was to me indeed, an anchor to the soul both sure and steadfast." During the trip, which began on March 29, 1849, Brown's box was transported by wagon, railroad, steamboat, wagon again, railroad, ferry, railroad, and finally delivery wagon, being completed in 27 hours. The box was successfully received on March 30th 1849. Just look at me the determination of our ancestors.

The Greensboro Massacre of 1979 was filmed live as the Klu Klux Klan murdered 5 people on television and no one was ever convicted. Political violence in America is real. The African American community knows this reality. Take the threats seriously! https://t.co/QCaT6Df9B3

Dem Governors in Illinois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, & Pennsylvania have signed bills ensuring free lunch to all school kids.

GOP Governors in Arkansas, Iowa, & Ohio have signed bills allowing child labor & exploitation.

GOP claims they're pro life. Dems actually protect life.

Arkansas will no longer be teaching AP African-American studies because the state doesn’t want white grandkids learning about how incredibly racist grandma was back in the day.
