The Progressive Labour Party announced thatAmerican political activist and Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones will be their keynote speaker for the 60th Anniversary Gala to be held on Saturday, November 18th.
A spokesperson said, “Representative Jones was elected in 2022 as the Democratic Member of the Tennessee House of Representatives for the 52nd District. At 28 years old, he is the second youngest member of the State House.
“Justin Jones rose to prominence after he and another representative were expelled from Tennessee House after leading protests on gun control reform and joining protests in the chamber’s public galleries while the House was in session.
“Dubbed by his supporters as one of the ‘Tennesse Three’ Jones was reinstated by the Nashville Metro Council on April 10, 2023 to the Tennessee House after the unprecedented expulsions gained national attention.
“The son of a Filipina mother and an African-American father, Mr. Jones was born in Oakland, California. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Fisk University, a historically black university in Nashville, Tennessee.
“Bermudians can expect a captivating and timely address from Mr. Jones. Additionally, the PLP’s Class of 1998 will be honoured as the party remembers the election of the first PLP Government 25 years ago.

“We look forward to your fellowship and community as the Progressive Labour Party gathers to celebrate 60 years.”
Was Greta not available?
If I write facts about his background and public statements, they would not be posted so do your own research.
I wish I could attend but because the PLP uses the past to keep voters right where they are and where they like it, I won’t be there.
The plp didn’t vet this guy properly….he’s the opposite of the bigoted plp.
All these get together and parties, how about focusing on a Bermuda instead of your drinking ans parties PLP.
Rev. Al Sharpton not available?
Is Sharpton Pro LGBT? Against racism against whites? Accepts foreign nationals? Likes Filipino’s?
I bet Al is the opposite of all those things…just like the plp and the majority of the electorate.
