YHTP’s Summer Safety Series is designed to provide in-home, socially distanced education on major issues related to violent crime and personal safety. Most are recommended for adult audiences, although children are encouraged to join their parents for “Hacking Online Safety”.

You Have the Power condemns the violence against Mr. George Floyd in Minneapolis. For more than 25 years, You Have the Power has stood with all victims of crime. Recent events make it even more urgent to continue our mission advocating for victims of violent crime through community involvement and collaboration.

Deputy Chief John Drake, a member of You Have the Power’s Board of Directors takes command of the Metro Nashville Police Department’s Community Services Bureau effective June 16.

You Have the Power calls on all its supporters to contact members of the Tennessee House Judiciary Committee by Tuesday, June 2, at 5 PM, when the Committee will vote on critical legislation related to advocate-victim confidentiality.

Protecting the Future: Child Abuse and Safe-at-Home Orders. The abuse people suffer in childhood can impact the rest of their lives. And ironically, social distancing and safe-at-home orders may not keep them safe.

I hope this message finds you and your family well and safe. It is after much thought and consideration, with the input of our Board of Directors, our founder/Board chair Andrea Conte, and Powerhouse 2020 honoree Vince Gill that we have decided to postpone this celebration until 2021.

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and well during these challenging times. Like all of you, everyone at You Have the Power is looking forward to a return to a healthy, fully functioning state and nation.

I hope this finds you and your family well and safe. The COVID-19 virus continues to weigh heavily on our actions and plans.

We here at YHTP would like to thank all of you for everything you’re doing on your end to fight the COVID-19 pandemic… whether taking care of the sick, coordinating state and local crisis protocols, or self-isolating at home to keep yourself and others safe.
