Jerri Green is a Memphis councilwoman, mom, and candidate for Governor of Tennessee. She is taking on some of the country's most extreme Republicans to deliver for every Tennessean and the rest of the country. Her campaign is counting on grassroots support from folks like you to win this election.  Team, I want to make one thing very clear: Our communities don’t need National Guard troops on our streets. President Trump directed the National Guard to come to Memphis to address what he called “tremendous levels of violent crime,” despite crime being at a 25-year low. Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee greenlit the move, and state Republicans cheered it on. As a Memphis Councilwoman, I did everything in my power to stop the troops and 13 other federal agencies from occupying our city. I introduced a resolution urging Gov. Bill Lee to reverse course and reject the occupation of Memphis by National Guard troops. Unfortunately, that resolution failed — but I am far from backing down. What happens in Tennessee doesn’t stay here. Trump has now ordered the National Guard to occupy Portland, OR, after he tried to occupy Chicago and other cities across the country. We need real, long-term investment in public safety — policies and resources that prevent crime before it happens. But Republicans aren’t interested in progress: they’re too busy bending to Trump’s whims. I need your help to fight back — pitch in to my campaign for governor today to help me deliver real leadership for our state.
Armed troops are not going to help anyone who’s having a mental breakdown because they’re off their medication. Tanks aren’t going to provide housing for the women who are being trafficked into prostitution. Soldiers in fatigues aren’t going to stop domestic violence at home. Our communities do not need black hawk helicopters hovering overhead. We need to invest in our youth, support a livable wage, and build more affordable housing. Instead of harming our businesses and tourism by painting our state as a scary place in need of military intervention, we should be promoting our state as an amazing place to visit and work. Meanwhile, legislators like Speaker Sexton and my opponent Senator Marsha Blackburn are blocking meaningful gun safety laws and standing by while the National Guard is sent into Memphis. We do not need Donald Trump, or Gov. Bill Lee, or Sen. Marsha Blackburn, telling us what to do. You shouldn’t govern with fear, you can’t heal with force, and you can’t strip away freedoms and say we are better for it. Tennessee is on the front lines of national battles, and what we do here will send a message far beyond our borders. I’m not going down without a fight. Thank you for standing with me, for joining me in the fight for Tennessee’s families, and for your support. Jerri | |||
