On March 27, 2023, the Nashville community mourned after the mass shooting at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian Church in the Green Hills neighborhood. 28-year-old Aiden Hale, a former student of the school, killed three nine‑year‑old children and three adults before being shot and killed by two Metropolitan Nashville Police officers. In the immediate aftermath of this tragedy, young people from across the state took to the streets to demand gun safety legislation be passed. Amid these demonstrations, what we now know as ‘The Tennessee Three’ forced the Tennessee House into a standstill. Reps Justin J Pearson, Gloria Johnson, and Justin Jones took control of the well and stood with protestors to pressure their colleagues to pass substantial gun safety legislation. Over a couple of months, Reps Pearson and Jones got expelled from the House and eventually reelected in a special election. These events led to the national media eying out the Tennessee legislature. 'The Tennessee Three' aside, who are the key people and rising stars within the Tennessee Democratic Party?

Tennessee State Representative Gino Bulso. Some call him one of the most infamous representatives in the Tennessee General Assembly.

On Tuesday, March 26th at around 1:30 AM, a massive cargo ship lost power and crashed into one of the piers holding up the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The bridge split almost instantly, with the two ends remaining sprawled across the cargo ship for days after. At least eight construction workers had been on the bridge repairing potholes during the crash, six of whom were presumed dead by Wednesday night. The Key Bridge crosses the Baltimore Harbor Port, a port critical to the shipping of auto parts and hazardous materials in the US. Tens of thousands of people cross the bridge each day, and they are now using tunnels beneath the harbor to reach their destinations. Because of its role in the auto parts industry and in transporting hazardous waste, along with being the gateway to one of the United States’ key trading ports, the collapse of the FSK Bridge is likely to have a major impact on the US economy. An event as major as the bridge collapse should serve to unite the opposing political sides leading up to the 2024 elections. Instead, it represents further division, as illegal immigration, foreign interference in technology and trade, and criticism of diverse infrastructure have all been brought into what is now a harrowing event.

As many know, March is Women’s History Month. Every year, many honor the accomplishments of Women in the United States. As we see March come to a close, I want to dive deeper into the origin of Women’s History Month and how far we’ve come.
