Tennessee Chapter

The Tennessee Chapter of FAIR is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to advancing civil rights and liberties for all Americans, and promoting a culture grounded in humanity. Our state’s chapter was activated in June of 2021, then re-launched in June of 2024. Our purpose is to address the many challenges facing our schools, businesses, legislators, artists, and communities that threaten the civil liberties and dignified humanity that we all share.

Our Challenges

Even as Tennessee has a tradition of fostering deep respect for civil liberties and protecting the sanctity of the family and individual personage, our state is not immune to the divisive and dehumanizing ideologies that are trending in other parts of the country. 

Ø  Several organizations, business and legislators here in Tennessee support policies that enable identity politics, race essentialism, censorship, surveillance, digital currency and tracking, and a disregard for biological sex. 

Ø  Some Tennessee schools, employers, universities, and even churches are training their staffs to adjust interactions based on group identities. 

Ø  Univerisities are changing psychology textbooks and accreditation requirements to shift the practice of counseling to assume privilege, race, and gender as focal points of therapy.

Our Goals

We hope to gather the many Tennesseans who believe in the principles of FAIR and want to help preserve a way of life that fosters equality for all and lifts up humanity to think, speak, and gather freely so that we can each be the best version of ourselves with respect and consideration for others.

Ø  Unite our state on a grass roots level in defending and advocating for all civil rights, including freedom of speech, freedom from discrimination and censorship, freedom to assemble, and the freedom to express ideas.

Ø  Strive for everyone to have equality of opportunity, not equity in outcome.

Ø  Uphold the principle that we are all to be judged by our character and not by our color, ethnicity, sex, religion, or disability.

Ø  Affirm individual sovereignty.
