¿Por qué debería importarnos?
La capacidad de SCS para brindar una educación equitativa y de calidad se ve socavada por la alta rotación de docentes y las vacantes docentes de un año, así como por las importantes deficiencias de mantenimiento dentro de las escuelas, todo lo cual conduce a mayores costos financieros, educativos y de salud. La falta de acceso a servicios integrales proporcionados por trabajadores sociales, psicólogos y enfermeras calificados inhibe el tratamiento exitoso del trauma o las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE). El abuso, la negligencia y el trauma aumentan significativamente la probabilidad de suspensiones, comportamiento delictivo juvenil y encarcelamiento. Con una mediana de edad cuatro años por debajo del promedio nacional, la población de Memphis puede apoyar el desarrollo económico, pero solo si brindamos a los niños de nuestra comunidad acceso a oportunidades y apoyo.

Acerca del evento
Join the Shelby County Voter Alliance (SCVA) for our very first election cycle kickoff event “FREE THE VOTE: Rally of Electoral Resistance.” This will be a community and family day at one of Memphis’s most beloved urban parks. Bring the entire family and enjoy an afternoon of:
-Voter education and community resources -Easter Egg Hunt for the kids (yes even if it will be past easter) -Live music -Games and fun activities -Food
This is a celebration of community, democracy, and the power we hold when we come together. But it’s also a moment to reflect on where our city stands:
We are seeing our city shaped by outside forces, massive corporate interests moving in, and decisions being made that affect our air, our neighborhoods, and our future. Yet too often, our elected officials are not standing up for our communities.
Why?
Because too many of us are being left…
