We need YOU to help our canvassers reach every voter in Tennessee before Election Day on November 3rd. 🗳️💪⁠
⁠
Tennesseans deserve leaders who will prioritize improving reproductive health care access—not dismantle it.⁠
⁠
To elect those pro-repro champions, we need to have direct, face-to-face conversations—because that's the single most effective way to boost voter turnout. And to have those conversations, we need YOU.⁠
⁠
Help us meet our $5,000 goal this week so our team of canvassers can hit the ground running, equipped with all the tools they need to talk to as many voters as possible. Together, we can work toward a better future for Tennessee.⁠

We join millions around the world in mourning the passing of Dolly Parton, a true Tennessee legend.

We are so grateful for her kind spirit, her compassion, and her commitment to making the world a better, healthier, and more inclusive place for everyone.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you. 💙

🚨 DONATE to TAPP to help fund our statewide voter outreach efforts through Election Day!

It's clear: Tennesseans are fed up with elected leaders making life worse and making it harder to grow their families on their terms. That's why we're sending our team of passionate canvassers out into neighborhoods across the state—to build the power we need to replace these unfit, anti-abortion leaders with champions for reproductive freedom.

But we need your help to reach our goal.

We need to raise $5,000 this week to fully staff our canvassing team and provide them with the materials and tech they need to have as many conversations with as many voters across the state as possible. Your support is essential for us to reach every voter before November 3rd.

While people face out-of-reach health care and skyrocketing costs, the anti-abortion supermajority is focused everywhere except where it matters. Give today and help us build a better future.

When votes are suppressed, bodily autonomy is in danger.

As we celebrate the 106th anniversary of Tennessee ratifying the 19th amendment, we also call attention to how much more work there is to do.

Anti-abortion leaders know that their policies are unpopular, so they intentionally make it harder for people who want abortion and reproductive health care protected to cast their vote.

The communities who are most affected by voter suppression—Black and brown communities, LGBTQIA+ folks, low-income communities—are also those who are most harmed by laws that block access to abortion and reproductive health care. If people are prevented from voting, they aren’t able to elect leaders who will protect and expand their access to essential health care, not take it away.

We need you in this fight with us. Hit the link in our bio and get involved however you’re able. 💖

Today in 1920, Tennessee was the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, giving many* women in America the right to vote. ⁠
⁠
Though we're grateful for the hard-fought victory won by the bold suffragists who changed history, we're now seeing those rights being suppressed and threatened more every day.⁠
⁠
Voting rights and reproductive freedom are inextricably linked. The communities who are most affected by voter suppression are also the communities who are most harmed by laws that block access to abortion and reproductive health care. If people of color, LGBTQIA+ communities, low income communities, etc. are prevented from voting, they're prevented from electing leaders who will protect and expand their access to essential health care, not take it away. ⁠
⁠
Anti-abortion leaders know that their policies are unpopular, so they employ their suppression tactics to make it harder for people who want abortion protected to cast their vote. That's why we're in this fight, and that's why we need you with us.⁠
⁠
*Black people and other people of color weren't given the right to vote until 1965, when the Voting Rights Act was signed into law.
