Building Power in Bowling Green

    Still one of our newest chapters, the Bowling Green chapter of KFTC is running strong, building campaigns and alliances while having a lot of fun doing it. 

   Whether it's a tour of the local coal-fired steam plant, a Haiku contest fundraiser, door-to-door campaigns around Housing work, running phone banks or coming out to ally events, Bowling Green KFTC members are full of energy and enthusiasm that's more than a little contagious.

   A mutli-tiered campaign around housing and tenant-landlord agreements is at the heart of the chapter's work, but supporting KFTC's statewide campaigns are increasingly a big piece of the work as well.

   Members have spent a lot of time lately building relationships with elected officials and are starting a process of intentional chapter development and strategic planning.

   Earlier today, many chapter members attended a city council meeting to weigh in on stimulus funds coming into the city to encourage them to be used for weatherizing low-income rental housing - where members have done a lot of door-to-door outreach and found that many tenants have outrageous electricity bills.

   If you live in Bowling Green, please consider coming out to one of our events.  We also welcome visitors from other chapters across the state like Joe Gallenstein (below) who visited from Lexington at our April Chapter Meeting.
