“Civictn is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit civic engagement table of over 35 local- based organizations throughout tennessee that are working individually and collectively to create a more accessible, inclusive, and representative democracy by amplifying the voices, leadership, and expertise of communities who have historically experienced deliberate barriers to civic participation. We have a shared vision for the equal and equitable participation and representation of historically marginalized and underrepresented populations in tennessee. We believe that centering the leadership, experiences, voices, and votes of black people, indigenous people, latinx people, aapi people, and other people of color (bipoc), women, low-income and poor people, lgbtqia people, people with disabilities, and young people are required for shaping state policy and electing leaders who affect their lives.”

“Civic engagement: local elections matter. This year, we successfully amplified municipal election participation and civic outreach across the state. From hosting dynamic election day hubs, conducting virtual and in- person phone banking and text banking initiatives, and writing thousands of customized postcards to inform local residents. Bridging the digital divide: in our pursuit of community wholeness, we have taken proactive measures to bridge the digital divide that persists in many neighborhoods and families working with local and national partners to ensure that residents have access to free or reduced internet through the federal affordable connectivity program (acp). Through this collaboration, we've facilitated large-scale outreach and provided essential resources to inform citizens about the ac. Pro-democracy: we continued to educate and advocate for fair representation and maps. We joined partners for acivic engagement pilot to educate and register eligible justice impacted voters at the davidson county jail.”
