I helped staff a booth at the Knox Pride Fest yesterday for the Blount County, Knox County and Sevier County Democrats. It's open again today from noon to 4pm.
Pride Fest is a fun, entertaining event with food, music, vendors and local organizations celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. We were there to provide information on voter registration, candidates, amendments on the ballot and our stand on various issues. Democracy is under attack in our state and across the country, just look at the total abortion ban and the 'Slate of Hate'. We all have to speak up, be engaged in the political process and do everything we can to turn out the vote. I had great conversations with people, particularly young people, who are concerned about the future and realize how important their vote is. This midterm is incredibly important. Let's elect leaders who will protect individual freedoms and stop the assault on reproductive rights and the LGBTQ+ community. VOTE!
