Please read the information below and sign up to attend the event if possible. The purpose of this rally is to help bring attention to the recent activation of our trigger laws following the fall of Roe this summer. Tennessee currently has one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation. We are a no-exception state which is shameful.But! There are rumors that some of the state legislators feel the law is too extreme. We need to take every opportunity we can to speak up in support of revising the trigger laws. Please attend the rally if possible and/or please consider a donation. Every little bit helps. Our voices do matter.
