Day 3 of exposing our leaders who hold us down - your next assignment is to support the opponent of Marsha Blackburn.

If you are a TENNESSEE resident,

this election affects you directly.

We are going to continue providing you with all of the information you need to make an educated decision in each election. We will never tell you who to vote for or who or how you should support them, but we will provide suggestions about opportunities to make a difference in these elections. If you have information that you believe we should look into and share with our audience, please e-mail us at youmatter2024@gmail.com with any information and links to your sources.

Marsha Blackburn is an incumbent senator from Tennessee. She's 71 years old, and a Republican who became the first female senator from the State of Tennessee in 2019 when she won the Tennessee senate seat that was vacated by Bob Corker. Taylor Swift famously spoke out about Marsha Blackburn in 2019, and Swift played a hand in registering millions of new voters in the state of Tennessee with her efforts to thwart the campaign of Marsha Blackburn. Despite the effort, Blackburn won the election and since then has accepted over $163k in funds from AIPAC.

Marsha Blackburn's opponent is Gloria Johnson. Gloria is currently a State level Representative for the State of Tennessee since 2019 representing the 90th district. She is a Democrat and retired school teacher. Gloria is 61 years old.

Gloria was one of the "Tennessee Three". If you remember, back in April 2023, following the Covenant School Shooting in Tennessee, three state representatives disrupted House floor proceedings demanding the House make efforts to tackle gun reform, while massive protests were happening outside of the state capitol building in Nashville. Gloria was one of them, and these actions which were followed by retaliation from other members of the House. The Tennessee Three garnered national attention, including a statement from Vice President Kamala Harris.

We believe that every candidate deserves an equal playing field. Ways to help are to donate to Gloria's campaign so both candidates are forced to win voters with their qualifications, not money. If you are unable to donate money, or just don't feel comfortable supporting any candidate monetarily, that’s not a problem! There are more options, keep reading. If you're ready to donate, scroll down to the EDUCATION CENTER below for all the links you'll need.

Gloria will still have to prove herself as a leader and win the votes on her own accord. But if we band together we may be able to level the playing field by offsetting the donation that Senator Blackburn has received from AIPAC. I know this one is huge, but don't stress. Let's just do whatever we can. No matter how little or big your steps are to support, any effort is much appreciated. Even if all you can do is share her Instagram posts, you're still helping!

I will never tell you who to vote for, but I will provide you with information you can use to educate yourself and make a decision on your own.

If Senator Blackburn is going to win,

we should make her work for it.

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP

WITHOUT GIVING MONEY:

If you can’t help by giving money, or if you go learn about the opponent and don't want to support them monetarily, that is absolutely fine. I can totally understand that! You can still help by showering her opponent in attention! Follow, click links, watch videos, share their content if you enjoy it, talk about them on your channel. If you're local, go to events. Read her website. Educate yourself on her platform. Share our tiktok videos. Find all of the links you need below!

And, as always, if you find questionable content, share that! We want to shine a light onto how corrupt this government is. If every candidate is a bad guy, then how are we supposed to be working to make the future better?

If we make the same effort to call out our leaders as we do to call out celebrities, some day we could make real change.

We are calling you to action. Just one a day. Easy peasy. Join the movement.

We are posting a blog every day with more information about each candidate.

IF YOU ARE OR KNOW OF ANY GOOD CANDIDATES

ON ANY LEVEL, LOCAL OR FEDERAL:

I am just trying to figure this out alongside the rest of you. I don’t know every candidate who exists, so if you know of an amazing candidate who has never taken funds from AIPAC, please tell me about them! If you can find candidates who have public and active Tiktok channels, they will be prioritized. Right now, I have to find them, which can take a long time. If you know of an amazing (preferably independent) candidate who we should lift up over a terrible one, I’m open to suggestions!
