“Members of the jury” works best if you are not, in fact, addressing a jury.

These are facts.

Just be careful with “My dudes” and “Bitches” because those, while often used in a way meant to be gender neutral, aren’t considered to be. I’d be extremely uncomfortable being referred to in a group by “bitches” because of the female-coding of the term.
