So.... this is happening to mental health in Tennessee...

"TLPCA would like to notify our members and other concerned professionals about legislation SB 2227/HB 2539, which is legislation that would dissolve the Tennessee Board for Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Marital and Family Therapists, and Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapists. As we understand it, our license would move to a commission-run process rather than remaining under a dedicated licensure board."

So.... yeah, eliminating mental health access and options during a time when #tennessee ranks in the bottom 10 across the nation." Also you don't need a permit/ license for a gun or to conceal a gun. What a dangerous move....

🌈What’s Really Happening in Tennessee Right Now — And Why It Matters for All of Us

The Tennessee legislature has introduced a coordinated cluster of bills that all target LGBTQ people in different ways. Each bill looks small on its own, but when you put them together, a clear pattern emerges: They remove protections, reduce visibility, limit recognition of LGBTQ families, and take power away from local communities.

It's a blueprint for other states. Tennessee is in the Whitehouse and declared itself a blueprint for immigration. Tennessee is also a blueprint for anti-lgbtq+ existence, which eventually means your existence too (even if you're not lgbtq+).

Here is what they're doing in our state... and soon, your state:
1. The “Banning Bostock Act” (HB1472) This bill says the FEDERAL act regarding anti‑discrimination laws cannot protect LGBTQ people.
2. The Marriage Non‑Recognition Bill (HB1473) This bill will allow private businesses and organizations to refuse to recognize same‑sex marriages.
3. The “No Pride Flag or Month Act” (HB1474)
This bill bans Pride flags, Pride emblems, and PRIDE MONTH

🚨 Disability rights are under attack in 17 states! 🚨

There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:

❌ Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class).
❌ Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements).
❌ Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).

📍 These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.

If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps & governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.
