Immigrants and Refugees are Ready for Freddie!

I don’t need to tell you just what’s at stake in this year’s election. While Nashvillians are struggling to afford housing and find living-wage jobs, so-called leaders sell our neighborhoods to the highest bidder and turn their backs on our communities. Meanwhile extremists in the state legislature continue to exert authoritarian control by trying to take over our council and agencies.

It’s clear–the mayor’s race is too important to sit out. We need the next mayor of Nashville to hit the ground on day one delivering real solutions for immigrant and refugee families.

That's why we are endorsing Freddie O’Connell for the next mayor of Nashville. Freddie has demonstrated he has the experience, vision, and commitment to be a true partner to our movement who will champion policies that will give us all opportunities to thrive.

Freddie is ready to start delivering solutions for our families on day one. He’s released a robust list of 15 Fixes on Day One, which includes plans to strengthen the Mayor’s Office of New Americans, an office critical in engaging immigrants and refugees to fully participate in our government and our community. 

He has also demonstrated his deep commitment to immigrant and refugee communities. Freddie has a proven track record of being a champion for immigrant and refugee communities in Metro government, from voting Yes on a historic investment toward critical immigration legal services, voting No on License Plate Readers that harm Black and brown people, and sponsoring our Nashville Together ordinance to protect immigrant families during the attacks of the Trump era. Throughout his campaign, he has ensured immigrants and refugees were intentionally included through multicultural and multilingual outreach. 

And when the supermajority in the state legislature tries to keep us from moving forward, Freddie won't be afraid to stand up for our city and our values. Freddie is committed to defending our city from the state’s attempt to take over control of local governance, and will use the full power of his office to ensure we can do what's right for all Nashvillians.

We're hitting the streets to get out of the vote for Freddie, but we need your help. Will you make a contribution now so we can reach more voters and encourage them to cast their ballot for Freddie O'Connell?

Together with your support, we can elect Freddie O’Connell, a mayor who will build a Nashville that works for all of us. 

PS: Make your plan to be a voter during early voting (July 14-29) or on election day August 3. Find more information about voting at www.tirrcvotes.org.
