About the African American Clergy Collective of Tennessee

The African American Clergy Collective of Tennessee (ACCT) organizes African American Clergy and clergy organizations across the state of Tennessee to advocate in the interest of five issues directly impacting the communities we serve: Housing, Criminal Justice Reform/ Policing, Education, Healthcare, and Civic Engagement.

ACCT seeks to mobilize clergy and the congregations they serve to be the moral voice in the public life of Tennessee. ACCT advocacy, prophetic witness, partnership with historic civil rights organizations, collaboration with elected officials, and even direct action are necessary to help shape the public discourse and policy that will continue the creation of a more just and equitable Tennessee.
