Finn Partners represents the Mississippi River Boulevard Christian Church and its Pastor J. Lawrence Turner who will host today’s funeral of Tyre Nichols who was murdered by Memphis police.
Since news of Nichols’ death, Finn’s Nashville team has been helping Turner “develop and disseminate his impassioned call for systemic change within our nation’s criminal justice system,” according to a memo from Katie Seigenthaler.
The recent work follows years of strategic support for Turner’s messages demanding systemic justice and has resulted in positioning him os one of Memphis’ most well-known proponents of equity for all oppressed people.
Finn’s Kells Jackson leads the day-to-day effort for the MS BVLD.
He is supported John Seigenthaler, Daniela Laudisio, Philip McGowan and Marie DeVareene.
