Our endorsements are based on several factors that aim to increase voter turnout among immigrant, Black, and Brown communities, and to build progressive political power in Tennessee. We also committed to being a champion for candidates with an immigrant background or a candidate of color that is a bold and unapologetic champion of our communities and our values, even when their races aren’t traditionally considered as competitive as other races. TIRRC Votes considers a range of factors when determining which candidates to endorse and where to invest in voter mobilization and turnout, and more information about the endorsement process can be found on their website.
As the political power of immigrant families and Black, brown and working class communities continues to grow, we know that we have the ability to make a difference in key elections and have a say in the future of our city.
Want to get involved? We’ll be knocking on doors all across Nashville throughout early voting. Sign up here to volunteer!
No matter who we are or the color of our skin, we all want a Nashville where we can make a good living, raise our families, and live and work safely in our neighborhoods. And whether native or newcomer, we know we need city leaders who will lead with our values and fight boldly for the Nashville we all deserve.
