LiberTEA Leaders Collective as our solution to the lack of Black civic leadership talent in Tennessee. LiberTEA Leaders Collective will be the entry point for Black community members who want to lead systemic change on our collective path to liberation and freedom. The goal of the LiberTEA Leaders Collective will be to heal, develop, train, educate, and mobilize the
next generation of civic leaders and democracy defenders.

Through an intensive 6-8 week learning module, the LiberTEA Leaders Collective will develop the next generation of civic leaders and democracy defenders.

Description
Through the development and implementation of a inclusive relational organizing model, the basis of our Community Mobilizers program is to train everyday people to become organizers and speak to their circles of influence in order to challenge the status quo. Building on their existing relationships, we address issues including education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. This serves as a gateway to discuss how politics and economic power play a role in their daily lives. Our goal is to hire 15-20 Statewide community mobilizers by 2024.

The Equity Alliance produces the 2018 Nashville Voter Guide. Aside from the various blatant tactics to suppress minority voters in Tennessee, one of the greatest challenges to voter turnout is the lack of awareness of upcoming elections and access to available information on the candidates. Our city takes an "opt-in" approach to seeking election information instead of making it widespread available. The guide is a free public resource for Nashville voters?distributed directly through local churches and institutions (businesses, nonprofits, etc)?to make an informed decision in the voting booth on Election Day. The guide is available at www.nashvillevoterguide.com.
