Help Us Reach Our Community Engagement Goals
For Giving Tuesday 2022, we aim to raise $3,800 to support our participation in 10 community events in 2023. Democrats' visibility in our communities is critical to reach voters, hear from them, tell them what we stand for, and overall drive turn-out to the polls during elections. Learn more here. Please consider helping us with a donation today!

AMENDMENTS
NO on Amendment #1
“An amendment to the TN Constitution relative to the ‘Right to Work’”
This amendment will take away rights from hard-working Americans and lower their wages. It is not good for the middle class & minorities.
YES on Amendment #3
“An amendment to the TN Constitution to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude"
It’s about time slavery gets removed from the TN Constitution!
