Let's talk about Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program, aka SNAP 🍎🥦🥕

With 1 in 10 Tennesseans receiving SNAP benefits, we all have family, friends, and neighbors who risk hunger this month while the Trump admin refuses funding for this essential program.

The Knox County Democratic Party condemns and denounces political violence in all forms. Democracy prevails when we settle our differences civilly and at the ballot box.

Charlie Kirk and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Duck blinds. iPads and Apple gear. Thermal optics.

Bought with YOUR tax dollars under a corrupt Republican Sheriff.

🗳 In 2026, we must hold this corruption accountable by electing candidates who will protect your tax dollars. 🗳

We were honored to support the TNDP Veterans Caucus at their Town Hall today! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We’re proud to stand with leaders and advocates fighting for better care, housing, and opportunities for all veterans.

Thank you to the organizations, elected officials, and more who showed their support today.

DYK there's an election next month?
Tues., Aug. 26, is the Knoxville City Council primary election.

Local elections shape our neighborhoods from sidewalks, parks and street maintenance to school-zone safety and housing.

Make your voice heard!

Knoxville just lost $42 million in infrastructure grants for East Knoxville. Funding that would have gone to sidewalks, safe streets, and neighborhood improvements.

And yes, Tim Burchett, Marsha Blackburn, and Bill Hagerty all voted for it.

Elections matter.

Way to show up this weekend, Knoxville!

Local news estimates that 7,500+ came out to exercise their 1st amendment rights.

Speaking out is powerful.

"Bean and the Board must go."

Knox Dems statement with @votegloriaj.bsky.social and Rep. Sam McKenzie on the immediate need to take action on the leadership at the juvenile detention center.

Our community’s children deserve better.

It's no secret that Congressman Burchett is making a habit of betraying his district for praise from Trump, but today's move to codify Trump's executive orders has betrayed all East Tennesseans who are hurting under the billionaire-focused MAGA 2.0 agenda.

East Tennessee deserves better.

Facing funding cuts, Knox Pride needs community support to continue feeding and providing essential items to ~100 people each day.

You can’t call it a town hall if the public and press aren’t allowed in. Knox County’s Republican legislators are hiding from voters — and dodging accountability.

Meanwhile, @votegloriaj.bsky.social and Rep. Sam McKenzie continue to step up. Details on the town hall TBA in the coming weeks.

Saturday, we held our biennial reorganization convention to elect new officers and the Board of Governors. Thank you to all the new leaders stepping up at this pivotal moment for Knox County!

Huge turnout for @indivisibletn.bsky.social’s Tesla Takedown rally today. Great to see nearly 200 community members show up and speak out against oligarchy.

See you at the next one!

@indivisibleknox.bsky.social and Knox Dems have teamed up with nonpartisan orgs and our community to hold a community town hall, but Rep. Tim Burchett declined an invitation to meet with his constituents.

We're not afraid of our voters - why is Congressman Burchett?

Why doesn't U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett want to hear from his constituents? Where is his town hall?

Tim Burchett has sold out his community to the Musk/Trump agenda that will cut medical coverage, take food off children's plates and kills jobs in East Tennessee.
