KFTC members continue to register voters throughout Lexington

The chapter has been busy these last few weeks with local voter registration efforts. This past Saturday we went door to door in the Davis Bottom neighborhood of Lexington (also known as Irishtown) registering folks and talking to them about what it could take to build a healthy and functional democracy in Kentucky.

Many folks that we met are former felons and can't vote, although a few of them were eligible to have their rights restored so we gave them the application to get that process started and told them about KFTC's restoration of voting rights for former felons campaign.

There are going to be many more opportunities to register voters in Lexington over the summer. Here are a few that are coming up in the near future:

Saturday June 30th from 11am - 7pm we will have a booth at the Lexington Pride Festival in front of the downtown courthouse. If you'd like to help us register voters and do community outreach that day please sign up online here.

Also on Saturday June 30th from 2pm-4pm we will have a table set up outside of the Village Branch Library (off of Versailles Rd.) where folks can register to vote. If you can speak Spanish we'd love to have you volunteer! (You're also more than welcome if you can't speak Spanish - we're just looking for at least one more Spanish speaker to help out)

Wednesday July 4th from 9am - 6pm we will have a booth set up at Lexington's annual 4th of July festival downtown. We will be set up near the corner off Short St. and Upper St. (close to where we were last year). If you would like to help us out please sign up online by clicking on this link.
