NTEE Code: R40: Voter Education & Registration

MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The Equity Alliance proactively advocates for African Americans and communities of color to have a fair and just opportunity at realizing the American dream.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Souls to the Polls Partnering with the Interdenominational Ministers Fellowship, The Equity Alliance will conduct voter registration at African-American Churches in Davidson County. Our goal is to register 100% of eligible church members. TEA does voter registration at churches on Wednesdays and Sundays. TEA uses paper and online registration. TEA sends reminders for election day by phone, text and email. TEA maintains a voter database. TEA distributes online and hardcopy voter guides with non-partisan candidate information and details about how to vote. Nashville Voter Guide The Equity Alliance produces the 2018 Nashville Voter Guide. Aside from the various blatant tactics to suppress minority voters in Tennessee, one of the greatest challenges to voter turnout is the lack of awareness of upcoming elections and access to available information on the candidates. Our city takes an “opt-in” approach to seeking election information instead of making it widespread available. The guide is a free public resource for Nashville voters—distributed directly through local churches and institutions (businesses, nonprofits, etc)—to make an informed decision in the voting booth on Election Day. The guide is available at www.nashvillevoterguide.com.
