Jackson outreach efforts underway
Last month, TFT hired our new West Tennessee Organizer, Ebony Williamson, and opened our office in Jackson. It didn't take long for the outreach work to begin with the TFT booth at the Jackson Save Our Community Day event sponsored by long-time coalition member, SOCM. Joining Ebony at the outreach and education booth were supporters from the Jackson area, Martha White, Harrell Carter, and Bobby Jan Torre.
While TFT will continue to push for short-term wins like reducing the food tax and closing corporate tax loopholes in the current legislative session, our outreach and education efforts are aimed at building support for our long-term objectives of comprehensive tax reform and the broad principles of progressive taxation.
In light of the mounting budget shortfall, TFT is currently in the process of ramping up all of our education and outreach efforts across the state. If you would like to help set up a booth at a local community event, or if you would like to schedule a workshop for your local church group or neighborhood association, call 888-671-5188. We'll be glad to help!
