Wilderness Trace | Kentuckians For The Commonwealth

Chapter: Wilderness Trace

Centered in Danville, the KFTC chapter is located in central Kentucky's Wilderness Trace counties of Boyle, Mercer, Garrard, Lincoln, and Casey (Wilderness Trace is a historic name for this part of Kentucky).

We believe in a healthy democracy that includes voting rights for all. We believe in Earth, Climate, & Energy Justice. We believe in fully-funded, equitable, & honest public education. We believe in Fairness for all. 

Historically, we're concerned with sustainable energy issues – promoting local solar projects and addressing problems from the neighboring coal-burning power plant and slurry pond; Fairness – ensuring people can live in our community free from legal discrimination; affordable housing – making sure the people in these areas have good places to live; and economic justice in general – helping people have a voice and way to speak out.

Wilderness Trace: Happy to be KFTC's newest chapter!

Jim Porter on September 11, 2012 in , Wilderness Trace

A group of us have been meeting in the Danville  area for almost a year now to discuss environmental and other local issues. Although we considered ourselves to be affiliated with KFTC we had not taken the step of applying to KFTC for status as an actual active chapter until Monday night, September 3.

We are proud to announce that we are now officially a bona fide KFTC chapter (the "Wilderness Trace Chapter") with members in Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln and Mercer counties. 

Boyle County members celebrate KFTC's 30 years, make future plans

Sara Pennington on November 21, 2011 in , Wilderness Trace

IMG_0614Earlier this month, 19 KFTC members and friends came together to celebrate KFTC's 30th year of action for justice with a film showing, brainstorming session and birthday cake. Members of all ages had a part of the fun and fellowship.

The evening started with a viewing of KFTC's new film I Was There: The First 30 Years of KFTC. Member J.P. Brantley said the movie was "like a revival meeting." Folks enjoyed pointing out each other in footage from I Love Mountains days and reflecting on the work and the stories of leaders from throughout the decades.
