John -- Last week we learned that Republicans in the Tennessee legislature are planning to break up the city of Nashville in new Congressional maps.
They showed us exactly what happens when white supremacists are given the power and tools to destroy our democracy. Dividing up Nashville is an intentional attempt to dilute the voices of Black and brown voters in Tennessee and destroy a progressive, Democratic stronghold in our state.
It’s no coincidence that when the first openly gay Black woman is mounting the most serious challenge to win this district, they want to break it up.
We ain’t backing down because it ain’t in our DNA. When we claim our power in this country, the image of this country changes. That’s how we make our country — our home — work for all of us, not just for a wealthy few.
If you’re with us, split a contribution between me and Brand New Congress right now so we can keep up the fight.
In solidarity,
Odessa Kelly
