TIRRC Votes

TIRRC Votes strengthens and expands our democracy by building power in immigrant and refugee communities and advocating for equitable and inclusive public policy.

We are TIRRC Votes, the 501(c)(4) affiliate of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC). Founded in 2018, TIRRC Votes is the leading organization in Tennessee capable of building a new electorate and mobilizing the state's progressive base voters, creating a model for effective, immigrant-led political organizations in the Southeast.

Outside of elections, TIRRC Votes is leading the way at the local and state level in policy advocacy. Every year at the state legislature, TIRRC Votes defeats dozens of anti-immigrant and anti-refugee bills and casts a new narrative about who gets to be a Tennessean. Through rooting electoral organizing in year-round issue advocacy, we are deepening the connection between voters, our organization, and the issues they care about.
