Turning Point USA Riley Gaines

Turning Point USA welcomed Riley Gaines in her first public appearance to the University of Memphis since the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk. She shared her fears and her disappointments throughout her life. BUT, she focused most on encouraging others to know Christ personally first and be bold to stand for what is morally right. Others will not stand along with you, unless you are willing to stand for yourself!

We are very proud of @anneelizabethmatheny of her work with this organization and her care for other's personal walks with Christ and her boldness in speech. To learn more about Turning Point USA at the Memphis Location, visit their IG account: https://www.instagram.com/turningpointmemphis.

Shelby Country Republican Women's Club Members had a great time hearing Riley's testimony and meeting wonderful people throughout the night Members had a great time hearing Riley's testimony and meeting wonderful people throughout the night.

SCRWC supports the Memphis Safe Task Force

Some our @shelbycountyrepublicanwomen members helped serve our forces. Thank you for making Memphis safe again! Love what @toddstarnesfnc did!

His repost: Repost from Todd Starnes: I was truly honored to help serve members of the Memphis Safe Task Force today. Our friends at Cop Stop smoked 100 pounds of pork and we served it with all the fixins. The agents say that the hospitality they’ve received in Memphis has been off the charts. God bless these brave men and women who came from across America to save our city!
