"You can't expel a movement!" ✊🏾⁠
⁠
Justin Jones and Justin Pearson have won back their seats in the Tennessee legislature in a landslide, proving you can't expel a movement!⁠
⁠
After being unjustly expelled for fighting for gun reform, the determined Black lawmakers triumphed in their special elections.⁠
⁠
Amidst embarrassing tactics by the GOP, Jones and Pearson emerged victorious, garnering a whopping 80& and 90% of the vote respectively. ⁠
⁠
"They messed around; now they gotta find out,” Jones said. ⁠
⁠
With the Tennessee government still firmly in Republican hands, Jones and Pearson will have their work cut out for them as they attempt to grow the movement that they represent.⁠
