What a year to be a voter. As many Americans registered to vote by mail, the president schemed to defund the post office. Meanwhile, we celebrated the centennial of the 19th Amendment, but not without remembering that it failed to enfranchise people of color. Local grassroots advocacy group The Equity Alliance understands that voting rights intersect with human rights, and the group is committed to addressing systemic racism in our communities and institutions while keeping a close eye on legislation that affects voting rights. By focusing on education, expanding the electorate, promoting civic leadership among Black Nashvillians and more, The Equity Alliance is shaping our democratic process to be more inclusive.
