Claims transgender community stormed Tennessee Capitol assessed
As for the origins of the protests, there is little to support that the protest was spurred by any LGBTQ+ group.
While groups like Parkland School shooting survivor David Hogg's Everytown for Gun Safety have announced plans for a rally in Nashville this weekend, Thursday's rally was actually organized by nonprofit group AWAKE Tennessee, a"grassroots nonprofit organization with a mission to advocate for the advancement of women and kids in Tennessee," that promoted plans for a rally on social media two full days beforehand.
"We have collaborated with community organizations and individual citizens to organize a rally at the State Capitol Thursday morning," the group wrote."If you are looking for a way to channel your grief, anger, and confusion into action—please join us." Other photos from the Thursday rally found on social media show volunteers from other gun reform groups, like the local chapter of Moms Demand Action.has reached out to the national organization via email for additional context on its involvement.Given all the evidence available, there is no indication that the rally was organized by transgender activists or amounted to anything near the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
