You can find out who your lawmakers and reach them by calling (502) 564-8100. On February 12^th, meet-up with KFTC folks in the Capitol Annex cafeteria to grab some lobby materials and help getting started on your way.

12 p.m. — Gather at the Kentucky River Bridge

Begin your I Love Mountains Day experience at the foot of the Kentucky River. This is where we will all gather, practice a few songs and chants, and kick-off our march.

12:30 p.m. — March to the Capitol

Hold your home-made signs up high and raise your voice – we are taking our message to the Capitol!  As a unified voice, hundreds of us will march together the ½ mile up Capital Avenue to the front steps of the Capitol.

1:15 - 2:00 p.m. — Rally on the Capitol steps

Keep those chants going as we hold an energizing and fun rally on the front-steps of the Kentucky Capitol. Listen to rousing leaders who are leading the charge for an end to mountaintop removal and transition to a new, clean energy economy.
