I make up for my intense discomfort surrounding my physical form by being goofy and loud and boisterous and making a lot of jokes and that’s a Jenny holzer truism

did you know that you can actually do something to help cyntoia brown?
black lives matter nashville has created excellent phone scripts & awesome instructions for contacting bill haslam, the governor of tennessee which you can access here:
you can click the link, rehearse the script a few times, and CALL! TODAY! not to sound like an infomercial but stop arguing with people on social media about her experience and call the fucking number! you can also use the script for writing a letter or sending an email.
governor haslam has publicly stated that he is considering granting her clemency before his term ends in january 2019, so let’s encourage him to do that! thank you for taking the time to help her.
Thank you!
ya’ll its so easy, copy and paste the following and send it to the governor through this online link: (hit “email us”)
In 2004, Cyntoia Brown, a 16 year old victim of sex trafficking, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her assailant, Johnny Allen.
In June of 2012, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that juveniles convicted of murder cannot be subject to a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Last week, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that Cyntoia Brown must serve 51 years before she can be eligible for parole. This goes against the research and ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court when it comes to child offenders of violent crimes.
As a concerned citizen, I demand Governor Bill Haslam to grant clemency for Cyntoia Brown.
As a minor and a victim of sex trafficking, she should NOT have been sentenced to life in prison.
As a current survivor of the heinous act of Johnny Allen, she should not be forced to serve one more day behind bars because she feared for her life.
Again, I demand Governor Bill Haslam to grant clemency for Cyntoia Brown!
DONE!
