Do not obey in advance. - "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder

At this month's Lunch with the League, our legislators showed us exactly what they are willing to do to sacrifice our rights. They don't represent us, only their own self interests. Go to 5calls.org to make your voice heard!

Tenessee has always had safe and fair elections. These bills only create more work and stress for the voters. I apologize for getting the date wrong.
Don't forget to get out on MLK Jr's birthday and honor his legacy!

Consider running for an office and check out @https://www.andersoncountydemocraticparty.com to get started. As my grandon's band class showed us, big things can happen in as little as five months and the Anderson County Democratic Party wants to help.

Thank you Aftyn!! You moved the needle in Tennessee and showed us what true leadership looks like! Contact your representatives in Washington about the possible privatization of. TVA and the changes to the ACA coming up.

If you are able to, please donate to your local food pantry. Many people will be losing access to SNAP starting in November and they could really use your help. I won't see you next weekend so have a great Halloween!
