Singing For Democracy in Lexington
KFTC and allies held a powerful Singing for Democracy event in Lexington last week to continue to build support for our campaign to restore voting rights to former felons who have served their debt to society.
Primarily organized by KFTC member and leader Tayna Fogle, this is KFTC's 9th Singing for Democracy in the last few years.
More than 250 people gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church for the event. Performers included. Total Grace Missionary Baptist Church's choir, Bethsaida, Imani Church's choir, Antioch children's choir, many solo singers, dancers, and more. We also heard from a few elected leaders and half a dozen former felons telling their own stories.
“We will not be quiet or sit still until every one of us has the right to vote," said Rev. Owens of the Shiloh Baptist Church.
KFTC Electoral Organizers hired, trained and ready to go!
KFTC's campaign to register, educate and mobilize thousands of voters leading up to the November 6 election took a leap forward August 27 as KFTC ran an intensive two-day training of our brand new electoral organizers from chapter areas across the state. These folks will be assisting KFTC members and chapter organizers build grassroots power and strengthening our democracy.
