Today, we re-launch our campaign to take on billionaires and the political status quo.
Whether you live in the new TN-09, the old TN-09, or anywhere that our systems have failed you, I’m running for Congress for all of US.
We are still here. And we’re going to WIN!

🎯 PEARSON: “It’s not that we don’t have money, it’s that we have misplaced priorities.”
TN-9 candidate Rep. @Justinjpearson says we need new systems (like a FEDERAL JOBS GUARANTEE backed by MLK & FDR) to prepare for the coming A.I. jobs displacement.

What does the recent gerrymandering battle in Memphis mean for the upcoming midterms?
Find out Sunday as we host Tennessee State Representative and Congressional Candidate @Justinjpearson. We'll discuss redistricting in Tennessee and its impact on voting rights & representation.

Thank you Hardin County & Savannah, TN for having me yesterday! We’ve got to build an economy that works for everybody. Not just the wealthy few.
Because we have more in common with each other than with the billionaire polluters trying to keep us apart. 🙏🏾

“I've even had Republicans come up to me and say, ‘what they're doing is unfair. What they're doing is wrong. They're trying to cheat to win instead of winning over people with their ideas.”
Thanks for covering our district and our fight here in Tennessee, @TIME.

Congresswoman Delia Ramirez is force to be reckoned with! I am PROUD to have received her endorsement in my campaign to represent TN-09 in Congress.
Let’s change this country to make it work for all of us! @DeliaRamirezIL

Rep. @Justinjpearson — “It’s rigged for billionaires and multi-millionaires like @BrentTaylorTN, who wants to use his own wealth to buy a congressional district… if we don’t deal with poverty we won’t be able to deal with any of the other problems.”

From Memphis to Detroit and everywhere in between, our movement for justice is strong!
Honored to have the endorsement of Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib in my campaign to represent TN-09 in U.S. Congress.

Outrageous.
AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Thank you Williamson County for having me! TN’s new 9th district now spans nearly 200 miles.
From urban communities to rural ones, the political status quo of billionaire-run politics has failed us all. And that’s what I’m running for Congress to change.
