The Cradle-to-Career Pledge
We cannot keep doing the same things year after year and expecting Memphis and Shelby County to start thriving. It takes bold leaders upholding bold promises to put Shelby Countians on a path to economic mobility.
That is why we call on all candidates who are running for County Mayor, as well as the 13 County Commission districts, to follow Commissioner Mickell Lowery’s example and take the Cradle to Career pledge.

This week, we at Seeding Success had the privilege of talking with legislators from across Tennessee about our mission to build opportunity for children and families.
We spent a day on the Hill in Nashville articulating a cradle-to-career vision and meeting with dozens of members of the General Assembly. Our message—familiar to anyone who regularly reads this newsletter—was simple:
If Tennessee is to become the best place to raise a family and achieve prosperity, we need everyone pulling in the same direction.
