Voter Empowerment Training in Whitesburg

    Members from many of our Eastern Kentucky chapters gathered in Whitesburg this weekend to hone their voter empowerment abilities, learn nuts and bolts skill like how to help someone fill out a voter registration card, and to practice having conversations with their neighbors. 

 

   We talked a lot about how KFTC does voter work - Long-term, issue focused, non-partisan work focused on expanding our democracy and educating candidates and communities alike about issues - and letting people know where candidates stand on those same issues.

I learned a lot of stuff about the KFTC voting project that I didn't know before" - Brittany Hunsaker, a new KFTC Community Captain in Letcher County.

It's always helpful to stop and take a good look at the Political Landscape and think about how we can change it - and we *can* change it - we *have* changed it and we can continue to" - Jeff Chapman-Crane, Letcher County member.

People think they can't make a difference because they're just one person.  Too many people forget that the power is with the people.  You can only enslave a people as long as they'll let you.  When a whole lot of ones come together, you'll be a hundred, then a thousand and more.  You can make a difference and we will make a difference."   - Truman Hurt, Perry County member and Minister.
