3.10.23 TDC Weekly Public Policy Update

A man in a black long sleeve shirt and black hat curls his arms and says "oh! my heart just exploded!"

3.10.23 TDC Weekly Public Policy Update

Submitted on March 15th, 2023 - 10:12am
And what a happy Friday it is – I’m feeling all sorts of filled up over here after seeing so many of you this week. I’m filled up with gratitude, filled up with optimism, filled up with love for this community, but I’m also filled up with some fire. The sight of so many of us filling up the corridors of Cordell Hull reminds me that there is so much work to be done in this state. It also reminds me that this is the community to do it – nothing has been handed to us over the years

2.24.23 TDC Weekly Public Policy Update

Submitted on March 1st, 2023 - 02:54pm
For all that we put out into the world, it seems that it stays largely the same, but our impact is felt in the accumulation of the small good that we do and the people that we treat well along the way. Stay strong and

2.17.23 TDC Weekly Public Policy Update

Submitted on February 20th, 2023 - 12:12pm
The General Assembly is officially full speed ahead. And when they get up a head of steam like this, we need to get truckin’ ourselves, lest we get left behind. I mean, I hear they’re considering closing committee calendars in less than a month, meaning if a bill doesn’t get on the list, you won’t see it until next January. The urgency is real, but don’t let that get to you dear reader – we are an advocacy family and together, we always rise to meet the challenge.

2.3.23 TDC Weekly Public Policy Update

Submitted on February 6th, 2023 - 12:36pm
What began as a barren, windswept dimensional plane has now become lush with sprouting, ambitious bills eager to grow into the flora that constitutes the Tennessee Code Annotated. As you certainly guessed from that description, that’s because this week saw the coming and passing of the House and Senate bill filing deadline. Our now-populated plane has become the playing field, and, with some exceptions, we can now see all the players.
