RE: Norris Resolution Requesting 287(g) Agreement with Federal Immigration Enforement // OFFICIAL STATEMENT
On Monday (6/9), the Norris City Council will vote on a resolution asking the Anderson County Sheriff to enter into a federal immigration enforcement agreement.

The Anderson County Republican Party Doesn’t Care About Public Schools—They Want to Control Them
Anderson County Republican Chair Myra Mansfield just admitted what we’ve suspected all along: Republicans don’t think school boards exist to serve students.

Feeling Hopeless? Get Out and Get Moving.
I walked out of Democratic HQ feeling exhausted, frustrated, and mad. So many people are already talking like we’ve lost. But we haven’t.
We knew this was coming. It’s scary—but that’s exactly why we can’t give up. We’re just two weeks in—way yonder too early to throw in the towel.
