WATCH: “BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!! VOTE THEM OUT!!”
More footage of chaos erupting and a die-in ensuing as the TN House Republicans passes the wildly unpopular Ryan Williams arming teachers bill as angry students and parents looked on from the full gallery.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee says there is no path forward for his statewide school choice plan this legislative session. Melissa Brown | @itsmelissabrown on Bluesky and Vivian Jones have more. tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
Proud of our Tennessee Senate Democrats Caucus this week. Four consecutive days of 4-5 hour floor sessions debating a barrage of tngop's bad ideas and defending Tennesseans from harmful bills. It's been taxing and exhausting TBH but the 5 of us(minus Kyle) held it down!
Teachers don’t want this. Moms don’t want this. Thank you Senator London Lamar for fighting for our kids. 👊🏼
Senator London Lamar “What happened today is a gallery full of mothers who are concerned and we put them out because you’re trying to put guns in teachers’ hands!” Lamar said.
Loud, audible cheers from outside.
“We ought to be ashamed, Mr. Speaker. That’s unacceptable.”
After nearly 15 min pause as State Troopers cleared the gallery, Senator London Lamar is speaking:
“It is really hard, even as a new mom to stand here having to be composed on a piece of legislation I know will threaten my son’s life.”
You can hear the crowd outside cheering her on.
Thank you for such a great honor! I enjoyed being amongst so many truly supportive and esteemed women! Senator London Lamar Senator Raumesh Akbari
The Antonio Parkinson Project If every man that wants to tell a woman what to do with their bodies had to feel what Senator London Lamar has felt, I'm willing to bet there would be a reversal of thought after they experienced that level of physical and mental pain.
To mark #WomensHistoryMonth , the Senate Democratic Caucus honored local leaders, entrepreneurs, caregivers, movers, shakers and changemakers from across the state.
Happy Women’s History Month, Tennessee!
