Good Trouble Appalachia
In a state that leans as strongly red as Tennessee, it’s not uncommon to feel a sense of isolation, especially when you have a perception that the country is taking a turn for the worse. You're not alone. This is your safe third place to discuss political matters and current events. Our local group connects like-minded people in our community who want to work with others who share their values to protect democracy on the local, state, and national levels. Together, we can think outside the box and create a plan to make our opinions known, as many of us feel ignored by those in power. The power of the people is greater than the people in power.

WAVE: (Williamson County) WillCo Activating Voter Engagement
WAVE (Williamson County- WillCo Activating Voter Engagement) is a nonpartisan grassroots movement committed to educating, empowering, and activating the electorate across Tennessee. If you are feeling politically abandoned, bewildered, or (temporarily) powerless, we're your people! We believe in returning to fair representation of all constituents, informed and educated voters, and courageous civic engagement. In an era of gerrymandering, polarization, and assumed party voting, WAVE advocates for a responsible electorate that won't be taken for granted. Our votes are earned - not assumed - and our voices won’t be silenced. Our group started in Williamson County, Tennessee, and our gerrymandered lines include (but not limited to): Williamson, Benton, Maury, Davidson, Dickson, Sumner, Stewart, Wilson, Montgomery, Hickman, Giles, Lewis, Humphreys, Perry, Lawrence, and Wayne counties. Bottomline, we welcome all Tennesseans to our group. Our non-partisan goals aren’t bound by party affiliation. We’re listening, talking, and working together to hold elected leaders (local, state, and federal) accountable to the people they serve. Help us build a coalition of educated, empowered Tennessee voters by joining the WAVE today.

Common Sense
Our mission is to work as a non-partisan community to build stronger, safer schools. We believe basic isn’t good enough—our students deserve excellence in education. We are committed to working with our schools and our neighbors to ensure that school policies come from a place of inclusiveness and understanding, not bias, and curriculum represents and celebrates the diversity of our community and our world.
