Justin Pearson Career

Justin’s political career started in his high school when he advocated for proper funds and facilities in his high school. In 2020 he co-founded the environmental advocacy group ‘Memphis Community Against Pollution’. The group had a major role in canceling the construction of the Byhalia Pipeline in Memphis.

One more local group supported them for the cause. The Byhalia Pipeline construction would have ruined the sand aquifer, which provides water in Memphis. In 2022 Justin ran in the Democratic primary to succeed Barbara Cooper, who passed away in October 2022.

After the 2023 Covenant School shooting that killed three nine-year-olds and three employees at The Covenant School in Nashville, Pearson joined a protest for gun control reform at the state capitol alongside Gloria Johnson and Justin Jones.

Pearson, Johnson, and Jones became known as “The Tennessee Three”, and the Tennessee House voted on whether to expel the three members. HR 63, the resolution to remove Pearson, was sponsored by Representative Andrew Farmer. Pearson was expelled by a vote of 69–26; Jones, who is also black, was expelled by 72–25. Johnson, who is white and 60 years old, was spared her ouster by just one vote.

On April 7, 2023, Vice President Kamala Harris visited with the trio, echoing President Biden who had called them earlier, saying, “Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action” is “shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent.”
