FIGHT(!) prejudice

GET INVOLVED

<3[FIGHT(!)Pre-Judice] is a multi-faceted social justice organization that opposes all forms of prejudice, including racism, sexism, classism, heteronormativity, lookism, xenephobia, and general ignorance.

Our three strategies are:

1. to educate on issues confronting marginalized people and train activists and allies;

2. to organize against prejudice both online and in communities;

3. to bring impact litigation to make the law more just (eventually).

Tennessee State Government is Literally Backwards

1. The state senate just passed the “Don’t say gay” bill, which prohibits school teachers and students from mentioning or referring to anything that is not heterosexual. Clearly, this is a problem for free speech reasons, as well as for teaching our kids to be unprejudiced and for combatting bullying.

1.1 This bill is in part a response to California’s recent forward-looking legislation that could mandate that Queer history be taught in schools.

2. The TN legislature has already passed and sent to the governor a bill which will take away local governments’ ability to pass anti-discrimination laws which include categories not approved of by the state. That is, for example, Nashville’s anti-discrimination ordinance that includes Queer individuals will be invalidated.

2.2 This is in stark contrast to the forward-looking bill just passed by the Connecticut State House which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity and gender expression.

Backwards.
