Nashville Lawmakers to Vote on Expulsion of Legislators Who Protested Gun Violence 

HeadlineApr 06, 2023

In Nashville, faith leaders held a peaceful sit-in protest at the state Capitol, inside the office of Republican Speaker Cameron Sexton. They were calling on the Tennessee Legislature to abandon its plan to expel three state legislators who supported students demanding gun safety. House Republicans, who hold a supermajority in Tennessee, are voting on the expulsions today. The legislators represent Tennessee’s three largest cities; only two other lawmakers have been ousted from the Tennessee House of Representatives since the Civil War. Click here to see our interview with Tennessee state Representative Justin Jones.
