OUR WORK

TENNESSEE JUSTICE CENTER FIGHTS FOR

HEALTHCARE ACCESS

+

ANTI-HUNGER

+

HEALTH EQUITY

We fight for CHILDREN
We fight for OLDER ADULTS
We fight for INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
We fight for ALL TENNESSEANS
to have access to basic healthcare and nutrition.

In our work, we push for policy changes to address the inequities in our system due to race, immigration status, living in a rural area, etc.

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

We provide free direct services to help Tennesseans navigate some healthcare and nutrition public benefits programs

Through our direct service work and working alongside other advocates, we learn about barriers to programs that provide healthcare and nutrition assistance. We use that information to advocate for policy change.

We also provide education, trainings, and research to help inform the community and advocates about how to navigate programs that provide healthcare and nutrition assistance. We also provide education on how we can improve and protect these programs.

Through this work, we also identify areas for impact litigation as another way to create systemic change.
