SUMNER COUNTY: Superintendent Scott Langford responds to the reaction to the School Board designating October 14th as “Charlie Kirk Day of Peaceful Civic Discourse”, calling it a “symbolic gesture” www.facebook.com/share/1BFVM4...

This isn’t a headline, it’s a lifeline. I’m the only woman running in TN-07 — and I’m ready to take on the far right and deliver for working Tennesseans.

wtf Sumner county school board! @citycastnash.bsky.social @sumnerdems.bsky.social @indivisibletn.bsky.social @thetnholler.bsky.social @tennesseelookout.com

On the 24th anniversary of 9/11 we call for unity, not division. The myth of post-9/11 unity ignores how our Black and brown neighbors endured suspicion, hatred and violence. Yesterday’s tragedies remind us: division is a choice, but so is unity — and true community is the strongest resistance.

Join us tonight for our community potluck! We’re thrilled to welcome political strategist Tucker Karnes to learn how to flip seats in TN! Tucker’s experience includes campaigns for Megan Barry, Freddie O’Connell, Phil Bredesen, and more! 6PM at the office! Bring food to share if you’re able!

All students deserve an education, regardless of their immigration status. Join us in signing this petition by Public School Strong asking Sumner County School Board to vow not to adopt HB 793 in our county schools if Lamberth and the TN legislature pass this unconstitutional bill next session!

What a great turnout for our first Brewing Change! We had a great time connecting over coffee and great food this morning – mark your calendars for the second Thursday each month! Up next? Join us this Sunday at 6:00 PM for our potluck. We’ll hear from political strategist Tucker Karnes.

This is tomorrow! Wake up with us!

On this Labor Day, thank a union. From workers’ safety to weekends off to 40-hour work weeks to the end of child labor and beyond, unions have been fighting to protect the people. In TN, much of the power of collective-bargaining has been stripped away from the people by our legislators.

We’ve got a new monthly event rolling out next week! We’re excited to introduce Brewing Change: our monthly coffee and breakfast! The first meeting is the 1st Thurs., of Sept., it will typically occur on the 2nd Thur of the month. This event is free to attend and family friendly. See you there!

The SCDP have officially called for Democratic primaries in the 2026 election! We hear often that there’s no point in pulling a Democratic primary ballot if we don’t have Democratic candidates to vote for, but did you know the option of even having a primary relies on someone calling for it? 1/2

Sad — @GovBillLee showing Trump isn’t the only one willing to use the National Guard soldiers as political props. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/news/tenn...

The Sumner Dems had a blast last night at the TNDP Three Star Dinner! It was a great way for us to connect with Democrats from across the state, hear from party leadership, and maybe even get some ideas for our OWN Three Star Dinner this fall! Congratulations to the @tndems for a lovely event!

“I have not ever, not will I ever participate in any event hosted by the Democratic Party” (Rep Lamberth) isn’t the flex he thinks it is. Our Chair reached out to our elected representatives to invite them to a town hall on Saturday, July 19. All have declined. 1/

We’re thankful to WKRN and Sam Chimenti who have continued to follow this story over the past few months. We are also thankful that the policy failed. Thank you to those of you who have shown up consistently over the past few months to push back. Libraries should serve everyone. Today, we won.

There’s a whole crew of people here to speak out against SCLB Chair Joanna Daniels’s collections policy - known as the policy of selective censorship and First Amendment violations. And - for what it’s worth - we stand with our LGBT+ community. This policy is bullshit. Libraries are for everyone.

Tonight! Join the Sumner Dems Women’s Caucus for our July meeting. ✨ This month, we’re collecting menstrual products for the Sumner Period Pantry AND officially electing our caucus officers. 5:30 PM, Sumner Dems headquarters - and like always, feel free to bring a snack to share!

This Wednesday, the SCLB will meet again to vote on the incredible problematic collections policy put forth by the Chair. We invite you to join us at this meeting and speak out. The meeting begins at 3:30 P.M. at the Sumner County Administration Building. sumnerdems.org/build-back-b...

Today, we mourn the effects of the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill. - Rural hospitals that will be closed - Working families who will lose access to TennCare - Children who rely on SNAP benefits - Elders healthcare will be taken away Happy Independence Day. Keep fighting.

The bill passed, and that means that sooner rather than later, our neighbors will be hurting. Hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans will lose healthcare because of this bill. Hospitals across the state will close. Building community and mutual aid is the strongest form of resistance possible.

We all must stand up and reject Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”. We must make our voices heard.

The Sumner Dems Women’s Caucus had an incredible time at the Sumner Women of the NAACP’s inaugural luncheon today! 💕 The next SCDP Women’s Caucus meeting is Tuesday, July 8th at 5:30 PM at headquarters! Mark your calendars now and plan to join us.
