Citizen’s Sit-In is a protest at Chuck Fleischmann’s office in Oak Ridge for Congressional District TN3. EVERY Friday from 11:30a – 1:30p or any portion of that time. Bring your chairs and your signs just for Chuck Fleischmann!

Community involvement is crucial to any democracy; it is especially needed in times of widespread change and uncertainty. Our representative, Rep. Tim Burchett, has been elected to represent us and our interests. However, there has been a noticeable lack of communication and accountability with his constituents. The concerns of the people he represents are not being effectively communicated, making it impossible for him to accurately represent us. Having Rep. Burchett present at a town hall meeting would provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas, concerns, and solutions between the people and their elected official. As per a study done by the Brookings Institution, such public meetings can significantly enhance democratic governance and responsiveness (Brookings Institution, 2016). We call on Rep Tim Burchett to attend a town hall meeting in our community so we can directly share our concerns, hear his position, and collectively work towards better solutions.
Bring your protest signs. Bring your folding chairs or picnic blankets to sit on. Most importantly, bring your voices! We will have index cards available for you to write your concerns that will be mailed to Burchett’s office.

Stop the Insanity! No to Oligarchy! No to Kings! YES to Due Process! No to the regime! NO TO DICTATORS!
Join us at 1pm on the Sidewalk in front of Walmart.

Kustoff is more scared of people waving signs at town halls than for the wellbeing of Tennesseans. He is a member of the Ways & Means Committee that has primary role for SNAP and Medicaid cuts in the “Big Beautiful Budget Bill”, so we will just bring those concerns to him in person!
Poster Theme: Budget cuts & Attacks on basic needs like SNAP, Medicaid, & Social Security

Use address of 5865 Ridgeway Center Pkwy on GPS for parking lot.

Protest Hands Off Our Military in Tullahoma! Across from Walgreens in front of the Cemetery!

Save the date! We’re having a big event in Knoxville on 6/14 as part of No Kings Day. We were ahead of the game on this one and had the idea on the calendar before the day was named, so ours is called National FDT Day. For the adults, we all know what it means. For the kids, it’s Flag Day Turn-up.
This will not be our usual protest style event, although you are more than welcome to bring your protest signs if you would like. We’re throwing a carnival themed (kick out the clowns) community party to celebrate everything Trump hates. Our goal is to take attention away from him and put it on We the People right here in our community. Yes, this is a family-friendly event! There will be activities for the kids. We will have speakers and performers. Our goal is to connect our community with as much diversity as possible and give back to each other.
We will be setting up a meal ticket donation system called Pay-it-Forward, where you can donate to help pay for someone’s meal. We are hoping to provide a meal for everyone that day so everyone can comfortably participate, and no one is left behind. Trump won’t provide school lunches, but we hope to provide a meal for a day and hope it helps brighten someone’s day.
We will also be doing a food drive to donate to a local food bank to give back to our own community.
This whole day will be about connecting, diversity, inclusion, and JOY. We miss the joy!!! Fighting fascism comes in many forms. That can look like protesting, but it can also look like self-care. More importantly, it looks like connection and community. Fascism wants us isolated, scared, confused, broken. We will NOT give in! We will NOT let them take our community and our joy from us.
So please join us and be ready to have a LOT of fun! We are really excited and proud of this event!
