As rent in Nashville increases exponentially, affected tenants rush to court to contest their eviction notices. The Eviction Right to Counsel is a group of local advocates who collaborate to provide legal services for tenants in need.

.@liamsadams writes about the attempt by @zulfat4council & @JacobKupin4D19 to develop a unifying resolution around the Israel-Hamas war, the people in Gaza, and denouncing bigotry. tennessean.com/story/news/re… via @Tennessean \

How a contentious Nashville resolution on Israel-Gaza points to shift on interfaith talks

Muslim and Jewish Metro Council members see failed legislative attempt as worthwhile amid uncertainty about future interfaith dialogue.

Pt. II. If you are a U.S. citizen, do not respond to the letter. If you are not and were somehow registered to vote, contact your local county election commission and cancel your registration. Do not send in anything to Goins. @aclu_tennessee intake form link in bio

Pt. I. Receive a letter from the state requesting citizenship verification to vote? TN Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins' June 13 letter to voters intimidates and dissuades naturalized citizens from exercising their right to vote.

We demand an end to voter intimidation and assurances that no one will be removed from TN’s voter rolls in relation to this discriminatory letter, or we’ll have to take further action.

The state’s letter had the effect of intimidating & dissuading naturalized citizens from exercising their right to vote, perpetuating our state’s shameful history of voter suppression targeting people of color.

On 6/13, the election coordinator sent a letter to 14,375 registered voters threatening criminal prosecution for illegal voting & demanding that they verify their U.S. citizenship. But naturalized citizens already affirm their citizenship & eligibility to vote when they register

Today we & our partners sent a letter to the TN election coordinator & secretary of state demanding that they stop targeting & intimidating voters who are naturalized citizens. Discriminating against voters based on race & national origin violates the Constitution & federal law.

We are Muslim and Jewish and denounce killing of Palestinians. Here's why you should too tennessean.com/story/opinion… via @tennessean

We are Muslim and Jewish and denounce killing of Palestinians. Here's why you should too

Opinion: We value our relationships, and we are grounded in the knowledge that Hamas doesn’t represent Islam and Zionism does not represent Judaism.
