In the wake of the Supreme Court Tennessee legislators are calling a special session to consider redrawing the Congressional maps to further silence the voices of Tennesseans. These racist attacks are being funded by the wealthiest corporations and high powered trade associations and it is past time they are held accountable.

To: Top Tennessee Corporate Donors
From: Your Name

Dear Corporate Overlords,

For too many years, you have hidden in the shadows, that ends now. You are as responsible for the actions of the majority in the Tennessee Legislature as the legislators taking the votes. Your CEOs and corporate boards have decided your profits are more important than our children receiving a high quality education, our roads and infrastructure being maintained, our local governing power meaning anything, and our ability to have fair representation in our government.

You sit silently year after year as lawmakers attack our friends and neighbors, strip us of our rights and freedoms, silence our voices, and punish our communities for their mere existence. Meanwhile, your lobbyists and campaign contributions deliver billions in take breaks and giveaways while the average family shoulders the burdens of some of the highest sales and grocery taxes in the country.

Tennesseans from every corner of this state are working hard to earn a good life for themselves and their families. They don’t have endless financial resources or high powered lobbyists and trade associations to carry out their agenda.

But we’re not powerless against you. We know your names and know that every dollar that is spent in one of your businesses is a dollar spent in service of systemic racism, authoritarianism, and greed. We demand you stop supporting lawmakers who attack our communities and perpetuate systemic racism.
