Black Nashville Assembly
Build Black Political Power
The Black Nashville Assembly is a political engagement and community organizing project at the Southern Movement Committee. We are building democracy and organizing to transform Nashville.
The Black Nashville Assembly hosts quarterly People’s Movement Assemblies, monthly Mass Meetings, bi-annual town halls, monthly Community Dinners, and candidate forums to increase political engagement and engage in collective decision making.
We are committed to participatory democracy and political engagement as a vehicle to shift power and build a Nashville where our people are safe, healthy, and have the resources to thrive.The BNA is a quarterly assembly of Black people in Nashville. At our assemblies, we discuss the issues that impact our lives, create solutions that will transform the lives of Black people in Nashville, and take collective action to implement those solutions.

OUR WORK
-
The Varsity Spending Plan is a $10 million investment in young people, families, and neighborhoods in Nashville that builds safer communities, addresses gun violence, and reduces our reliance on arrests, courts, and jails.
-
We engage in quarterly community service to address the gaps in state infrastructure and build relationships with our community. Our community service includes yearly sneaker drives, turkey drives, food drives, and beautification campaigns.
-
As a base building organization we are consistently engaged in outreach and leadership development. We invite community members to become members of the Black Nashville Assembly where they are invited to volunteer and organize with us.
