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.

About the event
Join the Better Transit for Better Memphis (BTBM) Coalition for a BTBM Postcard Party! We’re gathering community members and transit supporters to write postcards to Memphis City Council in support of our campaign demands for better, more reliable public transit. This is a fun, low-barrier way to take action, connect with fellow advocates, and make your voice heard. We’ll also be kicking off our voter engagement postcard campaign—so some of our letters will go directly to Memphis voters to help build support for stronger transit across the city. Whether you’ve written postcards before or it’s your first time, we’ll provide the materials and guidance—just bring your energy and commitment to better transit for Memphis!
