What's At Stake
Top Issues we are facing in the upcoming elections
Economic
Freedom
Every Tennessean deserves honest pay for honest work, which means the freedom from worrying about paying for gas, groceries, and other essential needs. Instead, Tennessee’s workers continue to struggle day after day while the rich get richer. Tennessee doesn’t work without labor, and it’s time our economy reflects that. It’s time we stopped giving tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations and instead give it to those who make this state, the working class. It’s time to invest in Tennessee and Tennesseans, and we can do that by putting people over profit.
Solidarity now, solidarity forever to build Tennessee for everyone.
Bolidy
Autonomy
Every individual in Tennessee has the right to make decisions about their own body. Unfortunately, our legislators don’t think that’s the case and want to take that right away. Once the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Tennessee’s “trigger law” went into effect. This means over half of Tennesseans instantly lost access to life-saving healthcare. This isn’t a “pro-life” decision; this is a “pro-control” decision. They will strip away rights from anyone they deem. We say enough is enough. Tennesseans have the right to their own health decisions, including abortions.
Join us and tell the supermajority to keep their bans off our bodies.
Protect Public
Education
Public Schools are the backbone of Tennessee. They provide everyone, regardless of their background, access to quality education. It exposes children to diversity, allowing them to learn from their peers as much as they do from their teachers. Simply put, public schools go beyond the classroom.
But the supermajority doesn’t believe in this foundational pillar. They are funneling our tax dollars directly to private, religious interests. They continue to represent the elite, not the public. And by doing so, they’re denying a quality education to Tennessee’s future. That’s not building Tennessee, that’s destroying it.
Take a stand with us and take a stand for our public schools.
Common-Sense GUn Reform
Under the “guidance” of Gov. Lee and the supermajority, the state of Tennessee has become one of the most gun-friendly states in the nation. Thanks to them, Tennessee has become a hotbed for school shootings. Since 2008, Tennessee has the 5th most school shootings per capita, 10th in gun deaths per capita, and 9th in overall gun deaths. The data is clear. Gun violence is Tennessee’s number one public health and safety concern.
Parents should be able to send their children to school without fear for their safety. Retail workers should work without fear of a mass shooting. Children deserve the right to grow up.
Enough is enough. We need a safe Tennessee.
End the
Slate of Hate
Every year, the GOP chips away at the freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community with their “Slate of Hate,” a deluge of discriminatory and anti-American bills. Instead of focusing on skyrocketing housing prices, shrinking wages, and the laundry list of other issues, the supermajority continues to invest their energy in attacking the most vulnerable Tennesseans. Tennessee should be a home to everyone, not just those who agree with the supermajority. It’s time we put an end to the Slate of Hate and let Tennesseans know that y’all means all.
Pledge to end the Slate of Hate alongside us and make Tennessee a home for everyone.
Legalize
Cannabis
Over 80% of Tennesseans agree that cannabis legalization needs to happen. Despite that overwhelming majority, the supermajority would waste our tax dollars on criminalizing it. That’s not a very “fiscally responsible” move by the legislature’s own math. Cannabis legalization would generate over a combined $200M in state and local revenue annually while decreasing expenditures by nearly $20M. That annual revenue can rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, fund our failing schools, and provide the basic services our state severely lacks. It’s time to end cannabis prohibition and provide our state the resources it needs.
Step up and make your voice heard that cannabis legalization has a home in Tennessee.
