WHO WE ARE
The Tennessee Young Democrats stand up and mobilize young voters across the state.
Our school boards, city councils, state legislatures, and congressional seats are not for sale.
HOW WE WIN
I.
Show up
Every door knocked. Every vote registered. Every election, no matter the odds. Tennessee Young Dems show up because that’s how supermajorities flip.
II.
A Tennessee We can Afford
Rent is too high. Gas costs too much. Corporate money runs the show. Young Tennesseans deserve to afford the place they call home.
III.
Protect EACH Other
None of us are free until all of us are free. Our state legislature tests that promise again and again. We show up for each other every time. That’s not changing.
IV.
Building the Bench
Tennessee’s future belongs to the people who stay and fight for it. We’re building the bench, the chapters, and the community to make that fight winnable.
