  • Talking Points for Speaker Harwell's Task Force the Task Force Must Create a Plan That Will
    Talking Points for Speaker Harwell’s Task Force On April 12th, Speaker Harwell announced that she has put together a task force to come up with a plan to close the coverage gap. The task force, comprised of four Representatives, is to hold public meetings and design a plan to bring to the federal government for approval by June. The members of the task force are Representatives Cameron Sexton, Matthew Hill, Steve McManus, and Roger Kane. On the next page, you will find a short profile of each Representative. It is vital that the task force – as well as Speaker Harwell – hears from Tennesseans from across the state that we are expecting a plan that will succeed in closing the coverage gap. It is up to all of us to hold our legislators accountable, and to make sure they know what we want to see in the plan. The task force must create a plan that will: Close the coverage gap and offer affordable health care coverage to the 280,000 Tennesseans who are currently suffering without access to care. Keep our rural hospitals open, and prevent more from closing – we’ve already had 6 close their doors. Create new jobs and prevent the loss of jobs from hospital closures. The task force and Speaker Harwell need to hear from us now. Call them today, and ask them to make a plan that works for Tennessee. Here is a sample script: “Hi, my name is XX, and I’d like to make a comment to Representative XX about the Task Force to create a health care plan.

  • April 28, 2021 the Honorable Bill Lee Governor of Tennessee State Capitol, 1St Floor 600 Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. Blvd. Nashvil
    April 28, 2021 The Honorable Bill Lee Governor of Tennessee State Capitol, 1st Floor 600 Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. Blvd. Nashville, TN 37243 Dear Governor Lee, As member companies of the Sustainable Food Policy Alliance (SFPA), Danone North America, Mars Incorporated, Nestlé USA, and Unilever United States urge you to oppose HB 1233 / SB 1367 and SB 126 / HB 1027. These bills will negatively impact transgender Tennesseans and we strongly oppose them. These bills are also anti-business and will negatively impact our business operations and our ability to recruit and retain talent, thereby putting Tennessee at a competitive economic disadvantage. In different ways, several SFPA member companies have a significant presence in Tennessee, ranging from maintaining strong manufacturing, administration, research, and development operations in the state, to Tennesseans enjoying our products on a daily basis. This issue is not political. As a core part of our business principles, we firmly believe that all people are equal and that every person deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and fairness, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic information, age, national origin, disability, and military or veteran status. These principles guide the way we work, run our businesses, and engage with communities, and they contribute to our strength as we continually evolve alongside our consumers. We encourage all institutions – companies, governments, and societies – to act similarly by embracing diversity, practicing acceptance, and respecting each person as an individual. One of the reasons many of us value operating and conducting business in Tennessee is because we believe the state shares this philosophy – which has resulted in the state of Tennessee being a great place to do business.
