ICYMI: Community members just rallied at Bernard Community Center calling on Mayor Rhea "Skip" Taylor, Ford Motor Company Equitable Growth Advisory Council member, to return the community center he seized in December 2023 back to local residents!
TODAY, meet Mayor Jeff Huffman on Ford Motor Company's advisory council, who ADVOCATED for the state takeover attempt of majority-Black Mason’s charter, as well as SAVING a CoreCivic private prison facility in Mason.
And guess who campaigned for Mayor Huffman in West Tennessee? Ford Motor Company Community Relations Manager Marianne Purcell Dunavant. Does advocating for Black disenfranchisement & private prison industry sound like “equitable growth” to you? Does that look like meaningful community engagement?

We have now highlighted TWO of Ford Motor Company's advisory council members who have ties to racism in West TN: Mayor Rhea "Skip" Taylor & Mayor Jeff Huffman. How can this hand-picked Ford Motor Company council deliver "equitable" solutions? It's time for Ford to come to the table with local residents.
We also shared that Marianne Purcell Dunavant Ford's Community Relations Manager has campaigned for Mayor Jeff Huffman. Does advocating for Black disenfranchisement & private prison industry sound like “equitable growth” to you? Does that look like meaningful community engagement?
STAY TUNED for tomorrow's update on tn4all.org/ford-blueoval as we continue to document how Ford Motor Company's hand-picked advisory council is NOT SET to deliver equitable solutions or give the predominantly Black residents of the region a meaningful seat at the table! #FordDoTheRightThing
.Tennessee For All's vision of building a Tennessee that works for all, not just big corporations & the wealthy, is exactly why the coalition of local residents called Blue Oval Good Neighbors are demanding a legally binding community benefits agreement with Ford! bit.ly/48enlpf
