Space is limited to the first 6 to RSVP.

For the past two years, Blue Oval Good Neighbors has brought together hundreds of community members across West Tennessee who want to see our communities come first especially as big developments like Ford's Blue Oval City come to the area. Blue Oval Good Neighbors has advocated for issues like affordable housing, environmental transparency and corporate accountability and now will take steps to form their own official organization.

At this meeting, we will determine our mission statement, theory of change and vision for our communities. In addition, we will determine roles within Blue Oval Good Neighbors and take another step to create a sustainable force for progress in rural West Tennessee.

Join us on Saturday, August 16 at Fayette County Citizens For Progress from 10AM-3PM - with lunch included - to make decisions about our organization for the long-term.

Do you want honest, equitable and fully-funded public schools in your community? Are you concerned that while those of us who want this are in the majority - our voices are not being taken into account? Are you tired of corporate and billionaire interests getting the way of doing what's best for our kids and communities? Are you ready to DO SOMETHING in your school district, joining other people who feel the same way from across the state?

Then join the next Tennessee Public School Strong Orientation!

You'll learn more about our movement, how to organize with people in your community to win the schools our kids deserve, and how attending local school board meetings is a key part of the work. If you take the pledge, we'll send you a FREE t-shirt in the mail to wear to your next school board meeting!

Join us for August's monthly check-in Zoom meeting on August 25th at 6CT/7ET where we check in with Public School Strong members across the state who are working to support and transform our public schools amidst extremist attacks. We'll share statewide campaign updates, share our struggles and successes, talk about what's going on in our districts, and brainstorm how we can support each other.

This month, we will focus on school board resolutions as a tool to protect the right to live, learn, and be for all students. While school board resolutions are not a policy, they are an amazing tool to get school boards on the record about the critical issues that matter to us. They also can be used to share the will of a community formally with state leaders. This fall, we are working to pass Education for All resolutions across the state to stop HB793 once and for all. During this call, you'll learn step-by-step how to get a resolution passed in YOUR community as part of a statewide movement for the schools our communities deserve.

We are fighting for an end to the grocery tax and to hold big corporations accountable in our state.

You will also get some practical skills around how to talk to your neighbors at the grocery store about an end to the food tax and what other policy fights and local corporate accountability campaigns you can join.
