ANNOUNCEMENTS

On Thursday, February 18, at 7:00 pm, the Temple’s Social Justice Team will host a virtual panel discussion on the death penalty considering the issue from four perspectives. Participants include the Rev. Stacy Rector, Executive Director of Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, federal public defender Kelley Henry, Rolanda Holman, sister of Pervis Payne, and exoneree Sabrina Butler-Smith.

The Tennessee Justice Center’s goal is health justice and equity, achieved when every person, regardless of race, income, education, gender or other status, has access to what they need to be healthy. TJC works with clients to help them get the food and healthcare they need. TJC advocates that laws and policies honor the value and potential of every person.

NOAH’s Action of Public Lamentation was a moving action of public witness and a success in terms of media attention. Thank you to those who made stars for this event. Stories appeared in the Tennessean, on NewsChannel 5, and on Fox 17. To date, however, the governor has not taken action. Please contact Governor Lee today about releasing stockpiled TANF money!
