Why should we care?
SCS’s ability to provide a quality, equitable education is being undercut by high teacher turnover and year-long teaching vacancies, as well as significant maintenance deficiencies within the schools, all of which leads to higher financial, educational, and health costs. A lack of access to wraparound services provided by qualified social workers, psychologists, and nurses inhibits the successful treatment of trauma or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). Abuse, neglect, and trauma significantly increase the likelihood of suspensions, juvenile criminal behavior, and incarceration. With a median age four years below the national average, Memphis’s population can support economic development, but only if we provide children in our community access to opportunities and support.
Equipping people of faith and goodwill to organize communities for systemic change through collective action.

About the event
Thank you for participating in our 2024 postcard writing campaign! By filling out this form, you are responsible for receiving, distributing, and sending out postcards at the designated times. After filling out this form, you will be contacted to coordinate receiving your postcards materials.
Our first round of postcards will be sent out before the Federal Primary Election and the County General Elections on August 1. This includes the Presidential Primary Election as well as local School Board Elections.
Completed postcards should be held until Wednesday, July 10, 2024, when all participating groups will send out their postcards. The Goal is for voters across Memphis to receive their postcards around the same time at the beginning of the early voting period.
