Tennessee

Tennesseans overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education. This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development. We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.

That’s why we’re empowering Tennesseans to be the voice for kids.

Tennessee activists use their voices in a number of ways! Our activists post information and actions to their social media pages, staff booths at community events, and meet with elected officials.

There are countless ways you can use your voice to advocate for children. Plus, joining in our work will positively impact your life as well as the lives of children in Tennessee and beyond.

District Meeting with Sen. Alexander

Sen. Alexander’s Office (map) August 21 @ 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Do you believe that all children, no matter where they are born, deserve a healthy start in life for a bright future? 

Tragically, every day 16,000 children under age 5 die of preventable causes, like diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria. The good news is we can and have been doing something about this. Worldwide, deaths of children age 5 and under have been cut in half since 1990 – thanks to American leadership.

Would you like to join a small group of likeminded supporters to talk about this with Sen. Alexander?
