Make money doing the work you believe in
We need everyone in Nashville this week, Tuesday at 12:00pm to greet our state reps as they come in for 2pm session.
Can't make it in person? Here are scripts to call, emails, and flood their social media accounts with. We do NOT want this blatantly illegal gerrymandering to take place. And yes, it is illegal per TN Constitution:
Call Script to Representatives
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City/ZIP Code].
I’m calling to demand that you support a ban on gerrymandering in Tennessee.
What’s happening in Memphis makes it clear: when politicians manipulate district lines, they
silence communities—especially Black and brown voters—and weaken our democracy. The people are
supposed to choose their representatives. Elected officials should not be choosing their voters.
I am asking you to:
● Publicly support fair and transparent districting processes
● Oppose any efforts to manipulate district boundaries for political gain
● Commit to protecting equal representation for all Tennesseans
Can I count on your support?
Email Script
Subject: End Gerrymandering in Tennessee
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I’m writing as a constituent from [City/ZIP Code] to urge you to support a ban on gerrymandering in
Tennessee.
Fair representation is the foundation of our democracy. Recent actions affecting Memphis show how
district manipulation can strip communities—especially Black and brown communities—of their political
voice. This is not how democracy is supposed to work.
The principle is simple: the people should choose their representatives. Elected officials should not be
choosing their voters.
I am asking you to:
● Publicly support fair and transparent districting processes
● Oppose any efforts to manipulate district boundaries for political gain
● Commit to protecting equal representation for all Tennesseans
Voters are organizing around this issue. On May 5th, we will protest at the ballot box, and we will
continue to show up at the Capitol in Nashville until meaningful action is taken.
I look forward to your response and to seeing where you stand on this critical issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City/ZIP Code]

Protest with your vote. Then show up. STAND WITH MEMPHIS!
What’s happening in Memphis proves why we need to ban gerrymandering now. Politicians should not be
choosing their voters. The PEOPLE choose their representatives.
