In the wake of the tragic shooting at the Covenant School in Green Hills, WPLN’s Peabody Award-winning journalist Meribah Knight followed three conservative moms over the course of a year as they learned to navigate Tennessee’s Republican-controlled state legislature. Supermajority is the four-part series from NPR’s Embedded, reported and hosted by Knight, that explores how these political newcomers confront powerful lawmakers, a dizzying legislative process and most importantly – their own long-held beliefs. 

We’re honored to host Meribah live in conversation with Melissa Alexander, Mary Joyce, and Sarah Shoop-Neumann, featuring clips from “Supermajority” and your questions from the audience. Don’t miss this deep dive into what they’ve accomplished, how the work has changed them, and what they’ve discovered about democracy.
