Why Join Unapologetic Advocacy?
Because navigating Tennessee’s disability systems should not feel like a full-time job with no instruction manual, no support, and a constant fight that leaves people feeling like they should apologize for standing up for themselves or someone they care about
Join because we break the system down.
Tennessee’s disability systems are complex, inaccessible, and confusing by design. We will work to translate policies, waivers, programs, and oversight into clear, practical guidance so you can understand your options, know your rights, and recognize when systems are not meeting their obligations.
Join because information alone isn’t enough.
Knowing how the system works only matters if there is a way to act. Unapologetic Advocacy will create pathways for action, equip individuals, families, and allies with tools to organize, mobilize, document, and push for change together rather than in isolation.
Join because accountability doesn’t happen by accident.
Decisions about disability services are too often made without the people most impacted in the room. We will center lived experience, work to document patterns, and apply sustained pressure so agencies, managed care entities, and policymakers are responsive, transparent, and effective, and we aren’t at left at the mercy of waiting on someone else to do it for us- again.
Join because you shouldn’t have to do this alone.
Individuals and Families are routinely forced to navigate broken systems on their own. Unapologetic Advocacy will work to connect people across Tennessee into regional and statewide networks so shared experiences become collective power.
Join because your story matters and needs to be heard.
And you should be the one telling it.
