The possibility of this moment gives me chills

This AMAZING. North Carolina Central University hosted a “Soar to the Polls” with a marching band & just look at how many young people showed up to soar to the polls. This is why we’re going to win. These young people are going to save us.

This is what I am hearing from so many Black Americans and especially Black women who feel 1) That their vote, decision and concerns are being undermined by non-Black people in the Democratic Party 2) That too many people reporting and commenting do not seem to understand the stakes. 3) That perhaps the polling is reflecting a Democratic Party that is attacking its own candidate rather than the opposing one.

People often ask me why would you move to Birmingham U.K.?

[ACLU of Tennessee @aclutn]

Did you know TN has passed more laws than any other state restricting what teachers can say and students can learn? Join the TN Coalition for Truth in Our Classrooms for a discussion on the new censorship laws that passed this year.
