The work is here. The work is offline. The work is online. The work is presence. The work is strategic absence. The work is in the streets. The work is in legislative halls. The work is in art. The work is in policies. The work is at the polls. The work is wherever we are.

Dear politicians/political influencers: When you tweet about my father’s birthday, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty & militarism. Encourage & enact policies that reflect your birthday sentiments. Here’s the authentic #MLK:

In this moment of unrest, violence and anger, we must remember the words of Dr. King, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Let each of us try to be a light to see our country out of this dark moment.

It’s truly frustrating that myself and my Dem colleagues fought in March and June to address these issues. The GOP shot down every one of our amendments to address needed COVID funding for education. tennessean.com/story/news/pol…

Record turnout in TN, but now, after all votes are counted in 50 states + DC, TN is still 48th. Better than our 50th position after 2014 election, but we still have a lot of work to do. TX proves what strategic investment can do. It has moved up 5 spots, from 51st, in 2014.

Because @GovBillLee has failed to take the most basic steps to protect Tennesseans, we are in a crisis where he has to call in the National Guard to deal with overwhelmed hospitals and literally thousands of preventable deaths.
Brett Kelman@BrettKelman

As COVID-19 surges, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee will use his state-of-emergency powers to send National Guard members to hospitals to work as nurses, testers and ambulance drivers. Breaking @tennessean story from me with an assist from @natalie_allison . tennessean.com/story/news/202…

Want to know the secret to winning elections in rural communities? There's not one. There's no silver bullet, magic answer, or white knight coming to the rescue. It's on each of us to show up and put in the hard work or organizing. #WeAreTN #RuralTN chasefortn.com/organize/

@elynnhardi1 Nope - I'm focused on our local community as well as the rural caucus right now. Thanks for thinking of me though!

TN Dems - you're likely seeing lots of election post-mortems along with ideas/plans from people running to be our state party chair. As an organizer and past candidate, keep this in mind - a future Democratic majority runs through rural communities. #WeAreTN #RuralTN

A good place to start is through the rural caucus. If you want things to change, you've got to get involved. There's no white knight coming to save us. We're the ones that have to step up for things to change. ruraltndems.org

We need rural organizers at the core of our plans for the next decade. Without that, we won't make any real progress at the state/local levels. It won’t be easy. We’ll have to fight for every inch of ground that we gain. But to do anything less is not an option.
