The House of Memphis
We're building a movement -- to create a kinder, safer, more inclusive Mid-South for everyone.
The House of Memphis engages and empowers progressive LGBTQIA+ candidates in Tennessee to lead our cities, our counties, and our state. We're on a mission to elect leaders who represent us and who support our rights and social justice.
We're going to step into our power, take back our government, and create real change.
Won't you join us?

Our Mission
Tennessee has for too long been dominated by those who feel that our rights are provisional and our lives are just a way for them to get clicks, cash, and clout.
We reject this status quo. We know that our found family will lead with wisdom, care, and pride and be true public servants. We understand the pain of not being heard. We know Tennessee has real problems that need innovative solutions -- not the same "thoughts and prayers" that sweep them under the rug.
To make this change a reality, we locate, engage, and empower progressive LGBTQIA+ candidates for local and state office in the Mid-South.

What we do
Endorsements
We endorse progressive LGBTQIA+ candidates for state or local office, providing them key support as they seek to make change.
Candidate Support
Whether you're thinking about running or planning your run, we provide tactical support on how to start out -- and how to win.
Expenditures
We make contributions and independent expenditures on issues and for our endorsed candidates to give them the best chance to win.
Our Values
- LGBTQIA+ RightsWhether it's an inability to get identification documents that reflect their authentic selves, or radical legislators trying to eliminate marriage equality, our rights are under attack. Our community must have equality under the law and the same freedoms and liberties as all Tennesseans.
- Social JusticeThe struggles of our communities are interrelated; when you pull on one injustice, you start to unravel the entire tapestry of oppression. We must achieve economic and social equity for all Tennesseans so we can not just survive, but truly thrive. Safer, kinder, more equitable communities make for stronger communities.
- Innovative SolutionsMany of the problems Tennessee faces are due to refusing to look to the future and instead repeating the mistakes of the past. We look to history to understand what failed, and then we look ahead to the art of the possible -- what we can do to deliver on the promises of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We refuse to accept the status quo.
