TN Progress strengthens the voices and stories working for a fairer, freer and more democratic Tennessee - so more people understand what is happening, why it matters and how they can make a difference.
Tennesseans deserve the truth—and a real voice.
A healthy democracy depends on people having clear information and a meaningful say in the decisions affecting their lives.
But too often, fear, division and misinformation drown out the people most affected by decisions made in Nashville.
TN Progress helps change that. We work with trusted leaders and organizations across Tennessee to make the stakes clear, elevate the voices that need to be heard and reach more people with information they can use.
What we do
Make the stakes clear
We turn complicated policy and political fights into accurate, understandable stories about how they affect Tennesseans and their families.
Strengthen trusted voices
We provide community leaders and organizations with research, message guidance, training and communications support.
Help important stories travel farther
We connect people, ideas and resources so strong messages reach more Tennesseans through local voices, news coverage and digital media.
Respond when it matters
When powerful interests mislead, divide or silence people, we help Tennesseans answer quickly, clearly and effectively
The Tennessee we believe in
We believe in a Tennessee where democracy reflects the will of the people and government delivers for all of us.
That means decisions shaped by the people who live here—not only those with the most money or political power.
It means every community can be heard, every person is treated with dignity and Tennesseans have the information they need to hold leaders accountable and shape the future of our state.
