A coalition of groups and concerned community members got together to let the Metro Nashville City Council know that we don’t want increased police surveillance. 18 listened and voted against.
Coming short of the 21 required votes, FUSUS failed! 🌹 People power gets the goods.
ALT Community members fill the gallery of the Metro Council chambers, many holding up “No FUSUS” stickers to show their solidarity during debate.
ALT A white, circular sticker that reads “No FUSUS” with an image of an open eyeball.
ALT The image from Metro’s live footage shows Vice Mayor Angie Henderson presiding over council next to a list of the 20 yes votes, 18 no votes and no abstentions. 21 votes required to pass. FUSUS fails!

Metro Council now debating kicking the can down the road.
20 Nov 2024
We're now debating a one-meeting deferral.
CM Suara is opposed to the deferral. "There was a lot said during the demonstration that people went to that contradicts what we were told in committee."
MNPD not sending its best and brightest.

Standing in line with the community to speak out against police surveillance and asking council members to vote #noFUSUS
See bit.ly/nofusus for more. Reach out to your council members on social media and email them. Reach out to the five at-large members the same way.

Let them organize! Let them unionize!
"Vanderbilt hired outside counsel — attorneys at Littler Mendelson, a national firm specializing in management-side labor law — and immediately filed its own response to delay election proceedings."

🔥🔥🔥“As our government seeks to divide us, as the violent rhetoric of the right-wing of this country escalates, and the attack on the queer community heightens, so do the attacks on unions, workers, and families. Regardless of any one’s person’s prejudice, we believe that no one should be exploited”🔥🔥🔥

UNION WINS @ THE AIRPORT✈️
The airport just announced they’ve created a new pickup area for taxi limos — giving us more space & ease of access to customers! This comes after repeated pressure on the airport authority to hear out the drivers’ needs.
