Voting Rights Digital Stories Premier and Singing For Democracy Update


We had a great planning meeting last night for in Scott County for their upcoming Singing For Democracy Gospel Fest, an event to rally the community together to restore voting rights to former felons.

Final acts and publicity plans are coming together and we have a strong set of outreach events over the next week leading up to Saturday (calendar below).  You can also download a copy of the Flyer or Handbill of the event by clicking the link - and then pass them out to friends or members of your church on Sunday. 


One big piece of news is that we've decided to premier our voting rights digital stories video at the Gospel Fest - a piece recently shot by Seed Lynn as part of a project with the Highlander Center.


Although the event is primarily for Scott County, some members from  Northern Kentucky, Lexington, Grant County, Owen County, Frankfort, and other nearby places are planning to come as well, so feel free to join us from out of town.
