We couldn't do our Voter Engagement work without our members! "Because Democracy functions provide barriers to communities of color it is important that we work together to ensure that no one is left behind." Thanks Marion Madry for all the incredible work!

The Lexington Council will be taking an important vote on the city's 100 Flock cameras at their meeting TONIGHT at 6pm in the Council Chamber (200 E Main St). Please come to the meeting tonight to tell the City Council to say no to police surveillance! https://t.co/ULj1lRdFOb

[Central KY KFTC @CKYKFTC]

According to research by Crystal Harper, Lexington's Flock cameras are disproportionately located in neighborhoods with more BIPOC and low-income residents. Read Crystal's full Lexington Times article about Flock cameras: https://t.co/bmxV4Gf6q8

Today is the last day to submit a comment opposing the new prison in Letcher County! Please take a few minutes to submit your comment here: https://t.co/vpdhiKBGwZ

[KFTC @kftc]

We couldn’t agree with Letcher County resident, Amelia Kirby more. Eastern Kentucky deserves more than profiting off of human misery. Read more about the @nonewbopprison work here https://t.co/AC8RmOogVx

Lexington's City Council is currently considering spending $1.6 million over the next 5 years to extend the use of 100 license plate readers. Lexington residents, please email your councilmembers today & ask them to pump the brakes on police surveillance: https://t.co/TLFPPmJmIa

[Reva Russell English @revarussenglish]

Hey #Lexington-A contract to continue city-wide police surveillance via license plate readers is up for renewal. Here's my email to council, who all voted to move it forward. This sucks & will only further problems said surveillance is s'posed to "solve". https://t.co/4EJ3Qk1aAF

[Central KY KFTC @CKYKFTC]

Join us on 4/10 at 6pm ET for a post-legislative session housing mass call! We’ll debrief our campaign to defeat HB5 and demand our decision-makers instead fund affordable housing, and get clear on our plan to enter our next fight even stronger. RSVP here: https://t.co/GW94huN9YC

Looks like SB 349 is posted for passage in the House TODAY.

Ask YOUR HOUSE REP. to vote no OR support the amendments.
Our preference is a NO vote, but if it is going to pass it MUST be amended! CALL BEFORE 2pm EST

[Central KY KFTC @CKYKFTC]

We only have ONE WEEK left to demand the General Assembly fund affordable housing in the state budget and sustain Governor Beshear’s expected veto of HB 5! Please take a few minutes to email your legislators now using this link: https://t.co/rtQGtbs669

[Kentuckians for Energy Democracy @K_4_ED]

We only have a few more days to fight SB 349 which will raise electric rates, undermine the energy regulatory system in Kentucky and lock us into dirty, expensive fossil fuels. Call and leave a message for the FULL HOUSE to oppose SB 349! 1-800-372-7181

[Central KY KFTC @CKYKFTC]

And if you haven't already, please take a few minutes to use this email form to tell your legislators to fund affordable housing: https://t.co/IYSmJ6VpBx

Please join us tomorrow night at 6pm for a phonebank to call on lawmakers to OPPOSE HB 5, which would criminalize homelessness, and instead invest in affordable housing! Register here: https://t.co/MVRNzJQ0T5

[KFTC @kftc]

We CANNOT turn our backs on those who need us most! Kentuckians deserve LEADERS who FIGHT FOR US, not against us! 🛑 We must stop HB 5 and STOP Criminalizing Poverty! It's not just IMMORAL, it's illogical. 🛑

[KFTC @kftc]

SB 349 will raise electricity costs for Kentuckians and is being fast tracked by Senate Leadership. Legislators need to hear from you today!
