Thanksgiving is two weeks away, and with the delicious food and family time come the dreaded political conversations.
Whether they’re with your eccentric uncle about how Donald Trump will somehow survive the countless charges against him unscathed or whether the GOP will abandon Ukraine, these conversations are important to have because they open the door for other conversations about issues much closer to home.
Voices for a Safer Tennessee, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to advocating for common sense gun laws, wants to ensure that those conversations are happening in Tennessee.
Board Chair Todd Cruse and member Katy Dieckhaus sat down with the Times Free Press editorial board to discuss the organization’s mission.
Dieckhaus, mother of 9-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus who was killed in The Covenant School shooting last March in Nashville, began her journey with the nonprofit after feeling called to be a part of this polarizing issue.
