Lift Every Voice and Vote: Join the civil rights march and rally on March 5 in Frankfort
KFTC members are encouraged to participate in a major civil rights gathering on March 5 in Frankfort. This event marks the 50th anniversary of a historic civil rights march in 1964 attended by more than 10,000 people including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Georgia Powers, and Jackie Robinson. That event helped build support for the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 and resulted in passage of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act two years later.

Tell the House to protect HB 70
After the Senate gutted the voting rights amendment (HB 70) last week, the bill is now back in the House. Please call 800-372-7181 and leave a message for your Representative and all House members. Tell them, “Do not concur with the Senate committee substitute to HB 70.” This is a necessary step to move towards negotiations between the House and Senate.
We remain hopeful that the Senate will eventually support the House version of this bill, which has wide bi-partisan support. The message line is open until 11 p.m. on weekdays.
