General Assembly
Eastern Kentucky lobby day in Frankfort!
Eastern Kentucky KFTC members will have a big presence in Frankfort on March 6, with the option of spending the night before or after to make the journey easier. We’ll meet with our legislators, and show them that even a three-hour drive won’t stop us from having a say in our democracy.

Threats to democratic participation define first week of 2019 General Assembly
Looking forward to making some positive impact in the 2019 General Assembly, KFTC members instead found efforts to limit public participation in the fundamental institutions and practices of our democracy.
Many members of KFTC and other groups were in the capitol and the adjacent capitol annex (where legislators have their offices and most committee meetings are held) for the first day of the session on January 8. The Kentucky Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival and the Kentucky Council of Churches held events in the capitol rotunda that many participated in.
Others came to welcome new and returning legislators, especially several House representatives who had received active support from KFTC members during their campaigns. Among those was Jim Glenn, who won by one vote. Speculation was that House Republican leaders might refuse to seat Glenn since they are working to overturn his election.
