State of Black Tennessee
Mass Meeting
Saturday, May 30
12:00-3:00PM
Join us for our State of Black Tennessee Mass Meeting.
In order to build power for our people, we have to build power outside of the political structures that have proven to us they aren’t necessarily there to support us. Tennessee Lawmakers have approved a new map that now limits Black voting power in Tennessee. It is even more crucial right now that we look to people’s power to make collective decisions that our community members actually want and need. We encourage you to stay politically engaged and join us at our State of Black Tennesssee Mass meeting.
