Every spring, Justice Knox (one of our Kingdom Partners) organizes the largest public meeting in the community. The goal of this assembly is to get public officials to commit to concrete actions to solve some of the worst problems plaguing Knox County. On April 9, 2024, 1177 Justice Knox leaders gathered at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium with Mayor Jacobs, Mayor Kincannon, Director of the Office of Housing Stability and School Board Members Butler, Bike and Watson. That night we secured commitments from both Mayors to set aggressive goals to end homelessness and from school board members around accountability for tracking student outcomes. This year we'll pack the auditorium with 1500 people to address public transportation, homelessness and housing instability!
