Middle Tennessee Defending Democracy
Our Middle Tennessee group is for Tennesseans who want to be actively engaged in fighting extremism and to restore, expand, and secure women’s rights including abortion. To protect public education from privatization and our children from Christian nationalist indoctrination, and to return our education to accurate science and history. We demand honesty with integrity in politics and will achieve it by educating voters and electing public officials who share these values. We’ll call out politicians who engage in conspiracy theories and who disregard the wishes of Tennesseans. We’re an active group that plans to have fun along the way - come join us!!
