On August 26. 2024, Governor Bill Lee made a proclamation encouraging all Tennessee citizens to join in the observance of Disability Voting Rights Awareness Week, September 9-13. 2024.

In honor and observance of this celebratory week, the September issue of The Compass is dedicated to exercising our RIGHTS: our right to VOTE, our right to SPEAK UP and let our voices be heard, our right to EQUITY & INCLUSION, and our right to ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES! Whatever rights may be important to you, exercise those and let your voice be heard! VOTE!
