This is Circle Work of High Degree. There is a progressive & moderate, multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multi-partisan rainbow coalition circle of love growing exponentially in Tennessee. We saw it at #loverising.We saw it at the many thousands strong peaceful protests to #protectkidsnotguns after the devastation of #covenant. We saw it when the TN Three stood up for all Tennesseans against abuses of democracy and in defense of our kids’ lives & safety. We saw it when Representative Gloria Johnson announced her campaign for Senator and *every* county in Tennessee donated from Day One. We saw it and heard it on December 13th, 2023 when we came together at the legendary Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville to record this epic collab of #tennesseerise We are all Tennessee Freedom Singers. Tennessee Rise is a call to all who care about human rights, voting rights, equality, democracy & freedom in Tennessee. It’s a call to the polls. It’s a call to care for each other. We are a beloved community every time we choose to be. It’s a celebration of Life, Liberty, The Pursuit of Happiness and the Recognition of the Inalienable Equality of our One Human Family. It has never been more important to use our powerful voices & votes in Tennessee. Go and make yourself known! Register! Vote! Rise! x #tennesseeriseVideo: @superhumanproductionsPhotos: @raydipietro@amandapearlshires @beth_nielsen_chapman @brandicarlile @blackfootwhitefoot @brittneyspencer @brookeedenmusic @denitiadenitia @devongilfillian@elizabethcookforsheriff @emmylou_harris_ @erinraemusic @fancyhagood @jaimeeharris @juliewilliamsmusic @bamitskam @katiepruittmusic @kyshonamusic @langhorneslim @lillywinwood @luciesilvas @marenmorris @marygauthier @meghanlinsey @meganelizabethmccormick myabyrne @morgxnofficial @thepaulmcdonald @phillipmscales @rubyamanfu @smashworthsongs@saravanbuskirk @shellycolvin @treburt @wadesapp@megbrittcole @meganelizabethmccormick @ryanmadora @dickthegentleman @elizabethpupowalker @mixerbell @dimstarmusic @drewmarvell @sarahbaer @soundemporiumstudios @superhumanproductions by @votegloriaj

These refugees came here legally and were promised services for 5 years. Trump revoked America’s promise. He is so bad for human beings and America.@bridgerefugees takes donations.https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2026/07/24/one-big-beautiful-bill-left-refugees-without-snap-how-nonprofit-helps/90514432007/ by @votegloriaj

One of my favorite moments from this week’s episode with Justin Kanew from @TheTNHoller.People don’t need you to agree with them on everything. They need to know you’ll actually listen and tell them the truth. That’s what I hear from Republicans in my own district all the time, and it’s exactly why the trust gap in politics right now has less to do with party and more to do with honesty.

I’ve been called “too far left” more than a few times.If fighting for LGBTQ+ kids, women’s healthcare, and public education is “too far,” I’m okay with that.Because when your rights are on the line, I don’t want to be almost willing to fight for you.I want to be willing to go as far as it takes.#democrats #lindseyfortn #tennessee #getoutthevote #progressive by @votegloriaj

Civil told me the story behind her name, her mama’s fence-jumping act of pure civil disobedience back in the 60s, while pregnant with Civil herself. One of my favorite conversations we’ve had. Have you seen her episode yet? What did you think? 🎙️📺Listen or watch: link in bio. by @votegloriaj

TENNESSEE 👇👇👇👇EARLY VOTING: JULY 17 - AUGUST 1 ELECTION DAY: AUGUST 6 This is an all hands on deck situation. I don’t want to hear that voting doesn’t matter. I don’t want to hear that both sides are the same. Pick a candidate that gets you closest to the future you want, and then hold them accountable when they get in office! These are the local general elections, and the primaries for the state and federal elections on November 3rd! To find your polling place and other election and voting info, go to: http://sos.tn.gov/govotetnIf you are not in TN, find your voting info at vote.org! Our ancestors marched and died for the right to vote. This was not a guarantee for many of us. Let’s show up and cast a vote for the future we’re fighting for. by @votegloriaj

Kanew and I laughed about this, but it’s true. Nobody showed the country what’s really happening in Tennessee more than Cameron Sexton did when he expelled my colleagues for standing up for what was right. 🎙️Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch the full conversation on Youtube! by @votegloriaj
