Oh look, Andy Ogles is being racist again.

🚨HB793/SB836 advances in Senate Finance Committee. This bill tried to strip children of their freedom to learn. We know that education is a right, not a privilege. We’ve defeated 2 of these 3 bills already, and we’ll keep fighting to protect education for all.

VICTORY💪🏽 HB0145 failed in House Banking & Consumer Affairs Sub. Aiming to strip away children's right to education & prohibit families from financially supporting their relatives abroad. Our fight to protect education continues with HB793 today in House Ed Committee at 4:30pm.

VICTORY!! 🚨 Today, SB1044 failed in Senate Ed. Committee. This bill was one of the measures attempting to strip children of their freedom to learn. Education is a right, not a privilege. Our fight to protect this right continues. It’s going to take all of us.

🚨HB322 passes in Criminal Justice Subcommittee. It gives full power to the Attorney General to further criminalize mixed status families & attack organizations, businesses, or families providing services to immigrants. It’s clear state overreach and harmful to all Tennesseans.

VICTORY!! 🚨 Today, HB10 failed in the Depts. and Agencies Subcommittee. This bill was another attempt to make life harder for immigrants & criminalize our communities. Thanks to our partners & members for showing up at every step. Our fight to protect our families continues.

🚨URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Join us TONIGHT to send a clear message: every child deserves an education, no matter how much money their parents have, what they look like, or where they were born. 🔗 mobilize.us/tirrcvotes/eve…
