Freedom Together: Statement for Dignity and Freedom and Against Discrimination

The fundamental dignity of every person is the cornerstone of good public policy. Wisdom leads us to respect the diversity of our neighbors and to a shared prosperity for all. Words and laws that divide us have no place as Tennessee looks to the future. We need the strengths of everyone.

Bills that limit life-saving healthcare for transgender and nonbinary people, create obstacles for LGBTQ students and faculty, discriminate in adoption and foster care, and challenge marriage equality do lasting harm. 

As organizations committed to the path of mutual respect and the goal of everyone’s dignity, we call on the Tennessee General Assembly to abandon discriminatory proposals.

If your organization would like to learn more and sign the statement, go to the form at this link. For questions, email us at [email protected] .
