🚨Join the Conversation: Protecting Tennessee’s Elections from Federal Interference

For the first time in modern American history, the federal government is preparing to interfere in upcoming elections. Experts warn these efforts could include spreading misinformation about election systems, creating disruptions, and sowing confusion to undermine confidence in election outcomes.

Join leaders from across Tennessee for a virtual conversation on the threats facing the 2026 elections and the strategies being developed to protect our democracy.

Featuring:
• Lisa Sherman Luna, Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC)

• Matia Powell, Civic TN
• John Haubenreich & Shanna Singh Hughey, Protect Democracy

We the people have more power than we think. If we just stand together we can change our state! The best way to do that is vote! Vote them out and vote in people who will turn this state into a more affordable, more inclusive, and healthier place to live!

What happens when censorship legislation moves from policy to practice?

Across Tennessee, educators, librarians, school staff, and students are navigating challenges as K-12 censorship laws are implemented in schools. But what does that look like in practice, and what are the implications for students, educators, and communities?

Join us for a conversation with our partners in the EdTrust Tennessee Coalition for Truth in Our Classrooms and ACLU of Tennessee on Monday June 22nd, that will explore what’s happening on the ground, uplift the experiences of those directly impacted, and unpack the legal and educational implications of recent anti-truth censorship legislation.

You’ll hear from Sam McKenzie and Darren Sadler, a Nashville high school student leader on how to collectively push for classrooms that are safe and inclusive for all learners.

Attendees will leave with actionable resources and tools to advocate on these important issues. Register here: https://edtrusttn.org/event/know-your-rights-what-you-need-to-know-about-tennessees-censorship-and-diversity-equity-inclusion-bills-from-the-2026-legislative-session/
