This week, we gathered for Democracy in Progress: Voting Rights at a Crossroads, a timely conversation on the evolving landscape of voting rights and civic participation.
In a moment marked by major legal decisions, shifting representation, and ongoing questions about access and participation, our panelists offered thoughtful context, historical grounding, and tangible ways to remain informed and engaged.
We are grateful to Dr. Chelsea N. Jones with @brennancenter , Christine Sloane of @ywcausa and Denzel Caldwell from @highlandercenter for sharing their expertise and perspective with our community.
The clips shared here offer a glimpse into the conversation, but there was so much more to unpack. We encourage you to take time to watch the full recording. Whether you are looking to better understand this moment, deepen your civic knowledge, or think more critically about local and state elections, this conversation offers valuable insight.
Staying informed is an ongoing practice, and participation does not begin and end at the national level. The decisions shaping our everyday lives are often made much closer to home.
Take some time to watch the full recording on our YouTube channel at link in bio and let us know: what insight from the conversation is staying with you?
We are grateful to #NissanFoundation , @theharnischfoundation & @alliancebernstein for supporting this webinar series.

📍In partnership with @MasisiRadio, Highlander Center presents a night focused on Haitian filmmakers in Miami at Little River Cultural Garden. This event brings filmmakers Monica Sorelle and Al’Ikens Plancher together for a day of films, culture, and community.

“Mountains” (2023): Monica Sorelle 3p-5p E

In Miami’s Little Haiti, Xavier (Atibon Nazaire) makes a living as a demolition worker while his wife Esperance (Sheila Anozier) holds down two jobs to sustain their cozy household. Their routine is tested when their son Junior (Chris Renois) returns home after dropping out of college. Xavier and Esperance struggle to relate with Junior, who is no longer interested in speaking Creole with them and harbors ambitions of an artistic career path they do not understand. Xavier aspires to buy a more spacious house for his family, but still wakes up every morning, goes to work, and dismantles his neighborhood brick by brick. Yet even as construction vehicles rumble down the block, Little Haiti remains a vibrant community with traditions and rhythms distinctly its own. Monica Sorelle’s tender feature debut “Mountains” is a multigenerational drama that deftly explores the relationships between immigrants and their children, the looming threat of gentrification, and the pursuit of the American dream.

“SINEMA CHAT”: Al’Ikens Plancher 6p-8p E

We round out our time together with a curated film screening and interactive conversation exploring Haitian identity, memory, diaspora, and belonging. The program features five award-winning short films—Tifi, La Vie, Konpa, Boat People, and Fou—that reflect on the personal and national histories shaping Haitian communities across generations. The event concludes with a dynamic, audience-driven dialogue where viewers engage directly with the filmmaker and panelist in an open, conversational format.

This unique approach invites deeper reflection on migration, resilience, and the power of storytelling in the Haitian experience.

This conversation will be led in Haitian Kreyòl and centers Haitian voices.

Light snacks/drinks provided

The space is free to attend, simply RSVP at the link in our bio.

With the rise of fascism comes the rise of political repression of movements for justice.

One way to protect ourselves is to learn from movements that have resisted repression before.

That’s why we’re offering this 6-part online series, Resisting Political Repression: Building an Unbreakable Movement.

Cultural Organizing at Highlander is both a core methodology and a set of programs. One such cultural program is the Zilphia Johnson Horton Cultural Organizing Project, named after Zilphia Horton (née Johnson).

Zilphia, the wife of Myles Horton and a brilliant organizer in her own right, stressed to Horton the importance of bringing in art and culture when organizing people for social movement.

Some of the core methodologies under which Highlander operates include popular education, participatory research, multilingual capacity building, and cultural organizing.

Specifically, Highlander defines Cultural Organizing as the strategic use of art and culture to promote progressive policies with marginalized communities.

At Highlander, we continue that work with our residency at @MasisiRadio, and through gathering organizers for Cultural Organizing on the Hill- bringing the work forward to ensure that each person who comes into contact with Highlander understands our deep Cultural Organizing roots.

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act — the landmark law that guaranteed the right to vote for every American. States can now rig the system to silence millions of voices and hand our power to a small and wealthy few. In the wake of this ruling, votings maps are being redrawn to weaken Black and brown political power before the midterms.

On Saturday, May 16th, we make it clear: we are fighting back, and we are claiming our power. Join M4BL and a national coalition of more than 160 organizations for a National Day of Action to take the fight to the states and protect our power. Sign up today or learn more at https://m4bl.link/AllRoads-LeadSouth (link in bio)

As a culmination of our 2026 Racial Justice Challenge, YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee invites you to join Democracy in Progress: Voting Rights at a Crossroads on May 20 from 12–1 PM CT (via Zoom).
Over the past 21 days, participants engaged in learning about the history and future of voting rights in America in light of the nation’s 250th anniversary. This conversation offers an opportunity to deepen that learning and connect it to the present moment, including ongoing discussions around policies like the SAVE Act.

It also comes at a pivotal time, following the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowed key protections of the Voting Rights Act, as several Southern states pursue redistricting efforts that could reduce majority-minority districts and reshape representation.

This webinar will feature:
Dr. Chelsea N. Jones, @brennancenter
Christine Sloane, @ywcausa
Denzel Caldwell, @highlandercenter

Together, they will explore participation, power, and what it means to engage democracy today.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Challenge and our sponsors @theharnischfoundation & #NissanFoundation. We hope you will join us for this timely and impactful conversation. Register at link in bio or www.ywcanashville.com/webinars

Highlander staff and friends gathered earlier this month to celebrate the completion of our new office building and honor our outgoing and incoming leadership, six years after Highlander's main office building was burned in a white supremacist arson attack in March 2019.

In song and fellowship, we acknowledged the hardships wrought by the fire while lifting up the determination and resilience of Highlander's staff and work under the vital leadership of Co-Executive Directors Allyn Maxfield-Steele, Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, and Salimah Muhammad in the years of rebuilding and recovering.

Co-Executive Directors Vonda McDaniel and Garrett Stark led the gathering in the initial days of their new leadership, sharing their commitment to shepherding Highlander and our mission forward in this critical moment for our movements, our communities, and our organization. "We have a lot that we're up against, but there's a lot that's possible," Garrett shared.

Our new office building will hold a meeting and gathering space available for guests on the Hill to use, and our on-site staff are excited to work together side by side again. We are grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support we received in the days and months after the fire, and for your continued support as we move forward in this powerful new moment.

In a world where so much of what we know is crumbling, speculation and imagination allow us to envision the new worlds we are committed to building, and to protect the ones that already exist and deserve our care.

With this in mind, the Community Archives Collaborative (CAC) is issuing our first-ever public call for pieces for an upcoming digital zine titled “Speculative Archives: Worlds Worth Making, Worlds Worth Saving.”

We invite submissions that explore the following prompt:

If you could build and care for any archive, what would it be, how would it be constructed, and what would be made possible through its existence?

We welcome pieces that speculate boldly and tenderly and invite conversation on memory, decline, and futurity.

Submissions may take the form of short essays, reflections, poetry, interview transcripts, or visual works such as diagrams or maps.

🌀Submission due date: May 15, 2026–please submit full submissions, not proposals.

🌀Submission length: 800-1000 words

🌀Submissions process:

Send submissions to hello@communityarchivescollab.org as a Google Doc or .docx file

Visual submissions (optional): submit high-resolution files (300 DPI minimum) in .jpg or .png.

Include a short bio (50–100 words) in your submission email.

The CAC steering committee will review submissions and respond by May 22nd. Contributors of pieces chosen for the zine will be compensated with a $150 stipend per submission.

For more information, please review the CAC editorial guidelines at the link in our bio!
