Rise & Shine pursues 3 objectives to achieve our vision of a safe Tennessee…
Connected and Unified Tennesseans. Engaging in community events including farmers markets, parent organizations, and other activities throughout the state to build connections across the state and counter the isolation and separation of groups. Creating community town halls for communities to come and speak about their concerns, grief, and joy.
Engaged Tennesseans. Awareness raising through social media to deepen the civic conversation around policy making in Tennessee. Community events to inspire civic engagement - concerts, talks, coffee shop meet ups, potlucks. Online communities and education to build knowledge and awareness.
Economically secure Tennesseans. Ensure Tennesseans are engaged and educated about how growth impacts their economic security.
