ACCUSED does not mean CONVICTED.
Tennessee, Amendment 1 is on your ballot this November, and we need to talk about what it actually means.
Right now, Tennessee’s Constitution protects the right to bail for most people awaiting trial. Amendment 1 would expand the list of serious offenses for which a judge could deny bail before someone has been convicted.
This raises important questions about public safety, due process, and the rights of people who have been accused but not found guilty.
At The Equity Alliance, we’re making sure our communities have the information they need to understand what’s on the ballot and what these decisions mean.
Vote NO on Amendment 1.
🗳️ Early Voting: October 14–29
🗳️ Election Day: November 3
Your ballot. Your voice. Your decision.
