Join us for a debrief of a busy and controversial legislative session with community leaders and experts, including Dr. Sekou Franklin, Elizabeth Millsaps, Reggie Nash, and Jasmine Ying Miller. While maneuvers for political power dominated the headlines, this also diverted attention away from proposed or passed bills that impact Tennesseans’ daily lives. YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee promotes trauma-informed, survivor-centered policies and practices and youth empowerment efforts that contribute to community accountability and harm reduction at the intersection of racism, sexism, and gender-based violence. Our panelists will discuss some of the legislation that impacts our clients and communities we serve, while framing these proposals considering larger power struggles in the state and nation. As we recap our most recent legislative session, we’ll also provide resources for those who want to get involved and help make a difference. Join us for this important conversation and be part of the stand against injustice.
