The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRC) celebrated the opening of its new Antioch office with a virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony last week, Main Street Nashville reports. The 7,000-square-foot building is located in the heart of Davidson County’s immigrant and refugee community. The coalition decided to relocate when it outgrew space at the Casa Azafràn community center on Nolensville Pike. The new space is designed to give the community a place to gather, host events and attend workshops, leadership training and English classes. It also has a soccer pitch and playground for youth in the area. Through a capital campaign, the organization raised $2.6 million but still needs $275,000 to pay down the rest of the construction debt. Those interested in helping can donate online or mail checks to 3310 Ezell Rd., Nashville, TN 37211.
