A RESOLUTION to honor the memory of Akilah DaSilva, DeEbony Groves, Joe Perez, and Taurean Sanderlin on the eighth anniversary of their deaths.

The bill honors the memory of four individuals—Akilah DaSilva, DeEbony Groves, Joe Perez, and Taurean Sanderlin—on the eighth anniversary of their deaths. It serves as a resolution to recognize their lives and the impact of their loss on the community. The bill was sponsored by Shaundelle Brooks and has passed in the Tennessee General Assembly.

Supporters of the bill would highlight it as a meaningful tribute to the lives lost and a way to promote healing within the community. They may view the resolution as an important step in acknowledging the ongoing impact of violence and advocating for remembrance and unity.

Critics may argue that the bill, while well-intentioned, does not address the underlying issues of violence and safety in the community. They might contend that such resolutions are symbolic and do not lead to tangible changes or solutions for preventing future tragedies.
