    Organize Tennessee Democracy Summit 2026

    This year we're expanding the program to six sessions, bringing together democracy advocates from across the South to share what's working, what's at stake, and what we can do together before the 2026 midterms. Register here.

    And if you've been watching what just happened in Tennessee, you know exactly why this summit matters more than ever.

    Democracy Summit 2026 includes a deep dive into redistricting — one of the most powerful and least understood processes shaping our democracy. You'll get to draw the maps yourself. Literally. Our interactive “Map Your District” workshop puts you in the seat of a redistricting committee, giving you firsthand experience with how district lines are drawn, why they matter, and what you can do about it. No background required.

    Because here's what we believe: you can't fight what you don't understand. And once you understand redistricting, you will become the advocate the moment needs.

    This summit is for anyone who refuses to look away — students, organizers, first-timers, longtime advocates, and everyone in between. Register now and bring someone with you.

    Full day of panels and workshops:

    Behind the Ballot — How Election Administration Actually Works

    Faith-Based Organizing — From the Pulpit to the Polls

    Solidarity at the Ballot Box — Labor, Racial Justice, and Democracy

    Authoritarian Consolidation and TN

    Protecting the Protectors — Safety & Security for Democracy Defenders

    Create Your Own Map Workshop

    EdTrust Tennessee hosts "Every Student Matters, Every Vote Counts Webinar"

    Tennessee’s elected officials – from the governor to the legislature to school boards – make decisions every day that shape what happens in classrooms, from funding formulas to curriculum standards to voucher expansion.

    Join EdTrust-Tennessee as we unpack the primary election results and look ahead to what’s at stake for students in November’s general election. Together, we’ll break down the key offices and education issues at stake and how each connects to real policies that affect students and families every day.

    Whether you’re new to education advocacy or have been doing this work for years, we invite you to join us to gain a clear picture of what’s coming and learn about concrete ways to plug in to make your voice heard as Election Day approaches.

    Register here.
