Taking stock of guns, crime and safety

Guns, Crime, Safety will be the three-pronged focus of an upcoming Town Hall meeting and legislative session debriefing.

Hosted by state Rep. Antonio Parkinson, the event will be held May 9th from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Breath of Life Christian Center at 3795 Frayser-Raleigh Rd.

Guest panelists are set to include Shelby County Commissioner Charlie Caswell Jr., Memphis-Shelby County Schools Board Commissioner Stephanie Love and Memphis City Councilwoman Michalyn Easter-Thomas. 

Sharing his context for the importance of the event, Parkinson said, “We are at a pivotal place in our lives. We have a choice of allowing mass shootings and gun violence to become our new norm or we can fight back and demand accountability from our elected officials and those that are in charge of our safety.”
