Our Mission

Our Mission

Rise and Shine TN is a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to building a culture of civic engagement so every Tennessean can be safe, live free, and have a chance to thrive.

We work to understand the experience of others.

We say the thing that must be said. We do what must be done.

We look for new ways to express our voice and regain our power.

We work with and for all people.

We fight systemic harms.

Together is the only way.

Only as our true selves do we all thrive.

The world and our communities are safer when we trust.
