SHIFT NASHVILLE

Nashville voters said YES to the transit referendum!

Take action with these next steps:

1. SIGN THE BUDGET PRIORITIES PETITION

The petition details a people-centered approach to our city, our money, and our future.
Help us reach 1,000 signatures in sending a clear, strong message to elected officials and decision makers
that public funds should only be used for public good.

2. REGISTER TO ATTEND THE SHIFT SUMMIT

Join us Thursday, May 22 at 6pm at TIRRC Headquarters, for a community convening to advance into the next phase of our SHIFT campaign. We are excited to co-create a vision with you and other community members!

 

This is a monumental opportunity to advocate for what we, as Nashvillians,
really need to achieve a better quality of life in our city. 

THIS IS A PATHWAY FOR US TO ENSURE:

TRANSIT JOBS

go to our neighbors and friends who need the work.

PUBLIC LAND

 is actually used for the public good.

CONSTRUCTION JOBS

 explicitly protect workers’ rights.

TRANSIT HUBS

support healthy community development.

AFFORDABLE DAYCARES

are created for workers’ families.

NOW OR NEVER

This offers us a chance to implement some much-needed systemic change in our  communities and to start the conversation with Metro about what kind of city we want to build for the next generation.

If you’re tired of living to work, sick of being stuck on I-24, and ready for our elected officials to represent our needs rather than corporations, this is a practical way for you to help define who we are as a city and right the wrongs of the Titans Stadium deal and other corporate interests that are stripping Nashville of its true character.
