Sen. #CharlaneOliver and @VoteGloriaJ intoduce legislation to protect every Tennessean’s freedom to access #birthcontrol . Just months after Tennessee’s #abortionban took effect, the TNGOP blocked legislation earlier this year to provide clear legal protections for birth control.
Senate minority leader #RaumeshAkbari quickly explains why the Republican push to reject federal education funding is so bad for students, schools and taxpayers.

Sen. Heidi @Campbell4TN recognized the victims of the Covenant School shooting and called for action to stop future shootings.

The Republican-led Senate, which has blocked every gun safety bill, adjourned once again without taking action to prevent gun violence.

“THEY’LL BE BACK ON MONDAY”

Capitol Hill Republicans can obstruct all they want, but Covenant families and their allies aren’t giving up. A people-powered movement to protect our kids from gun violence is growing in Tennessee.

With gunshots wounds being the leading cause of death for kids, families were right to expect action at the #TNSpecialSession . Instead, Republicans have tabled every new gun safety reform and voted to take a three-day break.

Special session was called in response to a mass shooting at a school. Tennessee families said they wanted gun safety reform. Today, the Republican-led Senate passed four bills that do nothing to address the epidemic of gun violence. The people gathered in the gallery let them know it.

Gun violence in Tennessee is a public health emergency and our families deserve solutions to meet this moment.

Sen. Heidi Campbell made it clear: inaction in the face of increasing gun violence has deadly consequences.

REMINDER: Tennessee law still recognizes July 13 as “Nathan Bedford Forrest Day” honoring an enslaver who led the massacre of surrendering Black troops at Fort Pillow.

For years Democrats have tried to repeal this state holiday, but Republicans keep clinging to symbols of white supremacy.

Sen. Jeff Yarbro intoduced the Senate’s “last chance” to enact gun safety reform before session adjourns.

With Covenant School parents watching, Republicans would not even debate his protection order bill.

“Whose side are you on?”

Senate Democrats let Republicans know how tone deaf and disrespectful it was to pass a bill shielding gun manufacturers from liability lawsuits — the first gun bill since the mass murder at The Covenant School. It passed 19-9.

We were proud to stand in solidarity with #CovenantSchool families and families throughout Tennessee who are calling for action to stop gun violence. #LinkingArmsForChange

Senate Republicans have passed a law banning the Knoxville City Council’s election process—against the city’s wishes.
