Southern AIDS Coalition is a faith-based, southern regional advocacy coalition tied to ForwardTN and TN Progress that mobilizes Christian communities to advocate for health care access (including Medicaid expansion and protections for people with pre-existing conditions), refugee and immigrant welcome policies, and other social justice issues. The organization runs petitions and campaigns, coordinates faith leaders and grassroots actions, engages elected officials, and hosts events; it is presented as a nonprofit project associated with a 501(c)(3) (ForwardTN) and a 501(c)(4) affiliate (TN Progress).
