About
Voting in Tennessee is difficult. We organize to protect it.
Organize Tennessee is a nonpartisan nonprofit built around a direct premise: the right to vote means little without the information, people, and systems that make it usable.
Founded 2019
95 Tennessee counties
Expand, promote, and protect the vote.
Organize Tennessee is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to expand, promote, and protect the right to vote. We train and deploy volunteers, answer voters in real time, and stand with every eligible Tennessean who runs into trouble casting a ballot.
“Low turnout is not proof that Tennesseans do not care. It is a signal to examine the rules, information, access, and trust surrounding the ballot.”
Statewide means peopleNeighbors, volunteers, organizers, and partners—together.
