SUMMARY:YWCA Nashville & Middle TN - Stand Against Injustice - 2023 TN Legislative Wrap Up
DESCRIPTION: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.

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. \nRegister
