Tennessee Immigrant Refugee and Rights Coalition

The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition has supported immigrant and undocumented communities across Tennessee for more than 20 years through legislative advocacy, community education, leadership development and civic engagement. In Nashville, where more than 140 languages are spoken in Metro Nashville Public Schools, foreign-born workers account for about 12% to 13% of the labor force. Coalition representatives discussed the organization’s work on NewsChannel 5+’s Que Pasa Nashville.
