TEP Census Pledge - #YouStillCount
We've all seen the articles that say that the LGBTQ community doesn't count in the 2020 Census. Questions more directly related to our community were left out of the final version. But it's still important to participate because it affects the federal funds that come back to Tennessee and it shapes the way our federal, state, and local districts are drawn for accurate representation. You still count!
So we are asking LGBTQ people and allies in Tennessee to take the pledge. Please, add your name if you have already participated in the Census or if you plan to. If you haven't done so, you can fill it out online at this link.
I pledge that I have either participated in the 2020 Census or that I plan to participate and I urge all my friends and neighbors to do so.

Kristina Counts signed Call on the Coffee County DA to Resign 2019-06-18 09:21:33 -0500Northcott needs to resign. A DA who refuses to represent everyone needs to resign. Our Muslim and LGBTQ neighbors should have protection under the law just like anyone else. Northcott’s statements are a good reminder why we have separation of church and state.
Call on the Coffee County DA to Resign
Coffee County District Attorney Craig Northcott has made anti-Muslim statements and said that he does not treat LGBTQ people experiencing domestic violence the same as other survivors. He can no longer effectively serve the people of Coffee County or the thousands of people who visit Coffee County each year for Bonnaroo.
Add signatureWe call on Craig Northcott to resign the office of District Attorney for Coffee County. His anti-Muslim statements and his admission that he does not treat LGBTQ domestic violence cases with respect are disqualifying for office. He must step down so that the people of Coffee County can be served by a District Attorney who will apply the law according to the principle of equal protection.
