  2. Become a member of TEP with a $20 registration.
  3. Make a contribution to support TEP's efforts in Shelby County and Tennessee.
  4. Report GLBT hate crimes or discrimination.
  5. Write a postcard to the Memphis Mayor and City Council encouraging them to enact a comprehensive city non-discrimination ordinance that includes sexual orientation and gender identity or expression (We'll pay the postage and tell you who your city council members are).
  6. Register to vote in this pivotal election year.
  7. Meet local elected officials.
  8. Meet like-minded people who want to promote fair-minded legislation in Tennessee.

The Shelby County Committee of TEP will also be walking in the parade that lines up at 3 PM at First Congregational Church at 1000 South Cooper Street and steps off at 4 PM toward the Festival at Peabody Park (Cooper and Higbee). Come walk with us or visit us at the festival booth!
