We held the Public Meeting on Sunday, but we are just getting started with the action!

People with expertise and those with lived experience in the areas of Public Safety Accountability, Tax Equity (consumers vs. billionaires), and Immigration Rights made it clear that we have to take action at the Metro Courthouse, at the State Capitol, in the Streets, and at the polls. When we do, we will ensure that "NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND THIS TIME!"

Voter Hub Events in NOAH!

The Big Call to Action at NOAH's Public Meeting was to get involved in our "Voter Hub" work ahead of this year's Mid-Term elections. 

Several NOAH congregations, including Lee Chapel AME, St. Vincent DePaul, Edgehill UMC, Greater Bethel AME, Glendale UMC, Howard Congregational, Zion Missionary Baptist and Gordon Memorial UMC, are building power to educate and encourage all voters to head to the polls on November 3!  

You should join them! Please review the flyers below, scan the QR code and show up to one of our Voter Hub events this fall.

On Sunday, September 27 at 3 pm, NOAH will hold our annual public meeting “No One Left Behind This Time” at Riverside Seventh Day Adventist Church.

This is an opportunity to build community power around public safety accountability, closing corporate tax loopholes, and ending ICE overreach. This meeting will have expert speakers, lived-experience speakers, and direct actions you can immediately take to create an impact in your community. Let’s stand up together as Nashvillians to make sure that no one gets left behind whether at a traffic stop, a grocery line, or a detention camp.

Register here.

GNUUC was well represented at the NOAH Issues Convention, with 15 of us in attendance! Delegates listened to two-minute “pitches” for each of the ten proposed problem areas and then voted for the three problem areas for NOAH to focus its work on going forward: Affordable Housing, Economic Equity & Jobs, and Education.

For several years, NOAH member organizations have worked on three areas of concern in Nashville: affordable housing, economic equity, and criminal justice.  These issues were identified through one-to-one conversations in a Listening Campaign and selected at the Issues convention in 2014.
