Our youth caucus has been delivering food from our drive to local blessing boxes - and they’re telling us that the boxes are empty.

If you’re able, check out the map on our community resource page and find your closest blessing box, then drop some food off before the roads get dangerous.

Today, we were honored to attend the 30th annual Dr. MLK Jr. Unity Day Program hosted by our friends with the Sumner County NAACP branch.

Pastor Jackson’s words were a poignant reminder of the importance of diversity here in our community.

Stop saying we shouldn’t impeach Nazis because they’ll be replaced by someone worse. We should never stop fighting to remove these evil monsters. Don’t obey in advance.

Join us for our Holiday Party at 6 PM to celebrate the end of 2025 and give back to the community.

We’ll be stuffing a bus full of non-perishable food and unopened toys for our local nonprofits - and don’t forget to bring an appetizer or dessert to share!

Shoot us a message for the address!

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Last night, people across the country used their votes to make a statement - we’re riding high on that energy.

TN was a blue state once, and we can get back to balanced representation again. It just takes a little courage and a lot of work. Sign up now.
