We will kick off the rally singing together "For What it's Worth" (Buffalo Springfield) Kate Craig will MC and speakers include: Jodi Polaha Jones, Michelle Treece, Lauren Johnson, Murphy Johnson, Marty Olsen, Ruth Taylor Read, Deborah Harley-McClasky, Nathan Farnor, and a representative for Anthony Flaccavento and Karl Dean, Tennessee gubernatorial candidate!! We will conclude the rally singing "Which Side Are You On" (Pete Seeger).
***Meet and Greets" Following the rally we will meet up at local eateries to greet and talk with candidates (locations will be announced) This will be a great way to learn about the upcoming elections, the candidates and ways to get involved! Groups and organizations will not be permitted to set up information booths at the park but we hope to have spaces available at the venues.
