The Republican majority in Tennessee abused its power when it expelled two democratically elected lawmakers because of who they were and what they said, stripping representation from nearly 150,000 voters.

Today, OFN President and CEO Lisa Mensah spoke at @UTChattanooga @TNDForum roundtable to discuss how economically challenged urban and rural communities can work together to create economic opportunity. #Thread

[Tennessee Democracy Forum @TNDForum]

Why are we talking about economic democracy? According to research by @UniteThePoor, an estimated 45% of eligible low-income Tennesseans didn't vote in the 2020 election. For democracy to work, democracy has to deliver results for everyone.

Join us TONIGHT for a conversation!
