SUMMARY:Freedom to Read Call to Action
DESCRIPTION:Join the KCEC Chapter of SOCM (Public School Strong) and 12 other local Knox County organizations\, led by the League of Women Voters of Knoxville/Knox County\, for a Rally on Monday\, June 1 at 4pm ahead of the 5pm Knox County Board of Education work session\, where they will discuss a resolution proposing to change the current process of book removals by Knox County Schools\, despite Superintendent Rysewyk’s statement following wide community pressure that Alex Haley’s “Roots” will be restored after initially being slated for removal by the local review committees. \nThere are still 123 banned books and an undemocratic\, non-transparent process for removals created after the 2024 state law was passed\, putting Tennessee third in the nation for book removals. Removing “Roots” was just the tipping point; there is no transparency about who is on these review committees\, who decides\, where and when they meet\, how long their terms are\, etc\, and the Board can decide to look into changing the process. The regular session (voting meeting) will be on Thursday\, June 4\, at 5 pm. Both meetings will take place in the Summer Place Board Room\, entrance on the corner of Wall & Walnut\, across from Market Square Garage. \nMore details available later this week via an email alert\, but Knox Countians from all 9 Districts are encouraged to email all Board members + Superintendent Rysewyk (superintendent@knoxschools.org)\, join the Rally and sign up to speak especially on Monday\, especially if you reside in those districts who have a Knox County Board of Education member or County Commissioner up for election – Districts 1\, 4\, 6\, 7\, and 9 for KCBOE and Districts 3\, 7 for County Commission. You can find your districts by entering your address here(KCBOE and Commission district #s are the same)\, and contact information for all Board members here. \nPlease share the action widely and stay tuned for the Knox County alert: \nFacebook \nInstagram

SUMMARY:GSMNP Protect Our Parks Protest
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for GOOD TROUBLE! The status of the Great Smoky Mtns National Park has not changed. As a ranger described-they are like the band on the Titanic. There are still only 2 dispatchers in the park-they are down almost 20 rangers in the park-normally around 30 rangers there are now only 11 and soon to be 10 A few seasonal rangers were hired-but no permanent due to this Administration stripping funds at every turn. Scientists\, maintenance\, trail crews\, ems all are on life support. This means increased unsafe conditions for visitors and wildlife and less dollars for surrounding communities. Meet Saturday from June 7 11:30 to 1pm across from the KOA store in Townsend Tn. we will walk up to the Park sign for a picture and protest! Bring a sign! \n\nhttps://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/967137/
