Bill > HJR0132

This resolution honors Raul Lopez, the executive director of Men of Valor, a prison ministry operating in Middle and East Tennessee. The resolution recognizes Lopez's nearly fifteen-year leadership of an organization dedicated to helping incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals reconcile with their families, society, and faith. As a Latino leader and political refugee from Cuba who has lived in Tennessee for over thirty years, Lopez has contributed to reducing the state's recidivism rate and has been actively involved in supporting the growing Latino community. The resolution highlights Lopez's personal experience under a communist regime, which has motivated his commitment to fighting for liberty and freedom. The Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate formally commend Lopez and Men of Valor for their significant contributions to the state, extending gratitude for their important work and wishing the organization continued success. The resolution also provides for an official copy to be prepared for presentation, with specific formatting instructions for the document.
