Voter Empowerment
Have you filled out your Census form yet? How's your county doing so far?
The U.S. census is a critically important tool that helps determine how much funding for health services a particular community gets, how many electoral votes a state has, or where state legislature maps are drawn. It's important that we're all counted, though we also know that some lower income and rural communities don't get fully counted. That means our communities and our state end up missing out on funding and electoral power.
And in this moment, census worker aren't able to go door-to-door. We need to step in and help get every person living in Kentucky counted.

Healthy Democracy Day Success
We had our Healthy Democracy Day in Frankfort yesterday bringing about 100 Kentuckians to Frankfort to share their vision for a real Democracy in Kentucky and to fight for it.
We had 9 lobby teams, recruited 7 bill co-sponsorships, had 24 legislative meetings, had 15 powerful speakers, and really laid the groundwork to stop SB 62 this session, and pass HB 6 next session while weaving an overall vision of what kind of Democracy we want more than we have before in Frankfort.
