Memorial Day is a chance for us to pause as a community and recognize the extraordinary individuals whose bravery and commitment shaped the freedoms and rights we treasure today.

Honoring them is about choosing, every day, to stand up for the same values they believed were worth the ultimate sacrifice: fairness, justice, and dignity for all.

Today, the NAACP, alongside the NAACP Tennessee State Conference and a coalition of civil rights and community organizations, filed a federal lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s newly enacted congressional map.

The lawsuit argues the map dismantles the state’s only majority-Black district and weakens the voting power of Black Tennesseans.

“Tennessee lawmakers made a deliberate choice to silence Black voters by dismantling a district that has long ensured representation for one of the state’s largest Black populations.” Derrick Johnson

We’re continuing the fight to protect our voting rights and ensure our communities are fairly represented.

To the moms, aunties, grandmas, bonus moms, godmothers, and the women who stepped up when they didn’t have to ❤️

Thank you for the love, the life lessons, the “did you eat yet?” texts, the sacrifices nobody saw, and the strength that somehow carried everybody through.

Today is for the women who make a way out of no way every single time. Happy Mother’s Day to the ones holding it all together with grace, humor, prayer, and a little side-eye too 😭💐
