Repeal the Stand your Ground Law
The Issue
The Stand Your Ground law is a law that has been recently used several times to cover injustices against Black life. We do not need this law to allow injustices like Trayvon Martin,Jordan Davis, Grant Oscar III and others to occur in Tennessee. Bill Haslam has never responded to any my concerns; hopefully this petition will push politicians to care. We must solve violence with love.
"Violence never solves problems. It only creates new and more complicated ones. If we succumb to the temptation of using violence in our struggle for justice, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, an our chief legacy to the future will be an endlsign reign of meaningless chaos. We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
