Tennessee</DIV></DIV></DIV>

<DIV
style='FONT-SIZE: small; TEXT-DECORATION: none; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri"; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-STYLE: normal; DISPLAY: inline'>Dear
family,
<DIV>I hope the beginning of the week finds you well. I wanted to update
everyone with the situation here in Tennessee. As you know, in April a Uber
driver not only denied a public service, but defiantly yelled out her car “Just
call the police” and squeeled her tires. Uber fired her and the Rutherford
county sherriff’s department filed charges. In Tennessee it is a Class C
misdemeanor to deny a public service. This has given our TAGDU division to
educate both city and county police agencies in Rutherford county. We have
educated the detectives of Rutherford county. Also, due to the 3 news television
channels that did a story on the denial, many in the public have been educated.
It has also spread awareness about NAGDU and the NFB, which is great! </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Now at the
hearing, the former driver asked for a continuance.The judge allowed her this
once and rescheduled for September 10, at 8 am. We had over 14 fellow
federationists from as far away as Memphis(a 3 1/2 hour drive). They left
at 3 inMany of them woke up as early s 2 am and met up before driving to the
hearing , which started at 8. What dedication! Below is the link to
channel 2, who did the story. They were allowed to be in the court room during
the hearing.</DIV>

<DIV>We had on hand many of our new NAGDU brochures to share with the media, the
DA, and other officials that were present.</DIV>
<DIV>Already, we are getting feedback from some of the same members and others
who plan to be present at the court room September 10th. We will update you all
on what transpires. I would like to thank everyone who helped us put together
the press release, provided direction, and supported TAGDU! Our federation
family should be commended for their efforts! I wish everyone a wonderful week!
Let’s go build the federation!</DIV>
<DIV>best,<BR>
