January 13

On January 13, Tennessee legislators will begin the next session of lawmaking. We're planning to be there on the 12th in a rally for bringing high speed internet to all TN communities. Senator Janice Bowling will address the crowd about her bill, SB1134, and what she needs from us.

Below are links to video and articles you can easily access to bring you up to speed.
