🚨 It’s back FOR A THIRD TIME!

Joanna is trying to bring this unconstitutional policy back one more time before she’s no longer on the library board. This time, she’s even coordinating with multiple churches to inundate the meeting with supporters who don’t actually understand the policy. 1/3

We had a wonderful time supporting the Sumner NAACP chapter at their annual dinner!

When organizations talk about the importance of voting, regardless of who you’re voting for, you know that they stand for good things!

Congratulations to President Rutledge and his team on a job well done!

This isn’t a headline, it’s a lifeline.

I’m the only woman running in TN-07 — and I’m ready to take on the far right and deliver for working Tennesseans.

On the 24th anniversary of 9/11 we call for unity, not division.

The myth of post-9/11 unity ignores how our Black and brown neighbors endured suspicion, hatred and violence.

Yesterday’s tragedies remind us: division is a choice, but so is unity — and true community is the strongest resistance.

On this Labor Day, thank a union.

From workers’ safety to weekends off to 40-hour work weeks to the end of child labor and beyond, unions have been fighting to protect the people.

In TN, much of the power of collective-bargaining has been stripped away from the people by our legislators.

The SCDP have officially called for Democratic primaries in the 2026 election!

We hear often that there’s no point in pulling a Democratic primary ballot if we don’t have Democratic candidates to vote for, but did you know the option of even having a primary relies on someone calling for it?

This supercut from Wednesdays library board meeting is what you get when your elected officials don’t represent you.

Only 14% of registered voters voted in the last county commission election. This is what happens when you don’t vote.
