Hey Mid TN marchers, organizers, activists and supporters! You're Invited and bring a friend! This Huddle is hosted by Darlene Leong Neal and Jennifer Wilson, founding members of Power Together TN.  Jennifer is a local real estate agent and an organizer extraordinaire. Darlene also acts as a TN State Admin for WMW-National and volunteers with the TN Anti Racist Network.

What is a Next Up Huddle? During the first few weeks of February, we will gather together in our neighborhoods and begin to transform the energy we saw at Women’s Marches into local and national action. This is the first step we need to take in order to mobilize millions to win back the country and world we want.  

Please help set our Huddle agenda by commenting or sending an email with action items you would like to see us address. This could be a proposal for an action, a point of discussion, or a request for allies from organizers of other groups.  Bring your ideas and passion: This is our movement and it will be what we make it.
