Being a KFTC Member

I joined KFTC in the fall of 2023. I never knew that being part of a Grassroots Nonprofit Organization would be so fulfilling. In my time with KFTC I have been able to use my voice to advocate for those who are socially, economically, educationally and or racially disadvantaged due to their background or stigma that surrounds them due to factors beyond their control. Not only has being a member been a fulfilling experience, but I have gained a new family. 

I recently attended the 2024 Annual Chapter meeting for KFTC at Berea College, located in Berea Kentucky. It was it was a two-day event complete with lectures, self-care, fellowship, and a choice of seminars. My takeaway from the event was that even in 2024 we still have a great deal of work that needs to be done to make KY a better place for all Kentuckians. We all need to work together as one to continue the great fight and make this state better for generations to come. 

KFTC offers a conglomerate topics to be fought, something for everyone. Some of the injustices that are we continue to fight are: Education Policies, Political Policies, Restoring Rights to ALL Ex-Felons, Environmental Policies, Housing Disparities and Food Insecurity. 

If you want to be part of something bigger than yourself, bigger than us all, KFTC is the place to be. Come join a meeting and see what  KFTC is all about & the work that is being done.
