Statement From The Minority Caucus Regarding NES Restoration

❄️ We're getting there, slowly but surely. Our Nashville health center will be OPEN tomorrow, January 29th. Memphis in Midtown will be closed due to ongoing icy conditions. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.

Nashville councilwoman - Quin Segall says the National Guard will help with clean up, as many still struggle without power

Chris Davis of NC5 says the rumor about NES turning away union employees is false

Clean up updated —> TL:DL: The national guard will join local crews to help with clean up. Please try not to be alarmed if/when you start seeing uniforms. /1

NDOT Update —> Snow removal crews have been diverted to assist NES with power restoration. NES and NDOT are fully coordinating. NES will disconnect power. NDOT will clear. NES will reconnect. Working in loops not on top of each other. This should help speed up power. /1

For those who are hearing that Nashville is turning away line workers, here's a statement from the union VP:

For those wondering when the state legislature will be back in session, looks like Monday the 2nd.

🚨Due to the nasty weather heading to the South this weekend, our first Field Trip to the Capitol is now on February 3rd from 2:30-4:30 PM CST. If you can't make it, don't fret! The next one is on February 26th. Sign up for both at https://www.mobilize.us/tappactioncouncils Stay safe out there! 🩷❄️

Thank you for the update!

We hope everyone affected by the storm and power outages are finding ways to keep warm! We'll be posting some resources for folks who need them. Please check on your neighbors! And a huge thanks to all the NES crews, emergency workers and community groups helping out!

We're hopeful that we'll be able to go forward with this event as planned next Tuesday. Keeping an eye on the weather over the weekend. Be safe everyone!

UPDATE: Despite the @TNFarmBureau bringing in a bunch of folks to push for passage, @rustygrills just got cold feet and took his bill to protect pesticide companies from sick farmers OFF NOTICE It can still come back, so make sure you call your reps and senators. @shawnryan762.bsky.social

Taking a break from posting here until the new year. Hope you all have a happy holiday season!

Long term closure would be disastrous for East Nashville and Downtown. Potentially massive safety and quality of life issue. Working to get more certainty here. www.nashvillepost.com/politics/met...

Thank you to all of our East Nashtivists friends and volunteers. We've accomplished a lot this year and are looking forward to keeping the momentum going in 2026! Stay tuned for lots of opportunities to plug in with us in the new year!

Tomorrow!

Join us next Wednesday for our end of year meeting with an election recap, our 2025 anual report and some fun TN legislature trivia! 🦞

The lesson from Aftyn’s campaign is clear: Voters are looking for leaders who will put health care affordability over billionaire special interests.

The results in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District prove that voters are fighting back against the policies of the Trump administration and the Republican majority in Congress. Aftyn Behn made historic inroads in this election, mobilizing voters across the district.

So proud of @aftynbehn.bsky.social and the campaign she ran. A ~ 17 point swing is nothing to sneeze at. Thanks to all grassroots TN groups for your work. @indivisibletn7.bsky.social @indivisibletn.bsky.social @eastnashtivists.bsky.social @nashvilleresist.bsky.social @indivisnashville.bsky.social

The hope and positivity is infectious! Let's bring this one all the way down the field and elect @aftynbehn.bsky.social to Congress tomorrow! Check your district and voting precinct at govotetn.gov. And listen to Dr. Green: bring your ID, dress warmly and vote Aftyn!

45 people from all across TN and the US on our phone bank right now!

Calling all volunteers! Join Planned Parenthood Votes, @tirrcvotes.bsky.social and @theequityalliance.bsky.social this Saturday, Nov 22, as we knock on doors all over Davidson county to help flip TN congressional district 7 and send @aftynbehn.bsky.social to fight for us in DC!🦞🦝🦝💙

“If this were to flip, that would say more about the state of the country than any other race possibly could.” The Holler’s Kanew talked to @kylewilsontharp.bsky.social about the TN-7 race: www.chaoticera.news/p/can-democr...

Behn: My biggest pet peeve in politics is when people who don’t live in the South say, “You get what you voted for.” I didn’t vote for the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. I didn’t vote for the highest inflationary cost of groceries in the country.

Good news!
