Voter Empowerment
Big week for Voting Rights last week
Over 36 hours, we had three big voting rights events – a Voting Rights Lobby Day, a Criminal Justice Panel Discussion, and a Press Conference for HB 6.
Voting Rights Lobby Day
In all, we had 34 documented meetings with legislators, 8 lobby teams, and 28 grassroots lobbyists plus the Kentucky Council of Church's great Prayer Day of Action on Voting Rights and 60 UFCW workers there who talked to legislators about HB 6 as a part of their meetings.
Our members built up their confidence in speaking truth to power and we had frustrating and yet valuable conversations with foes and allied legislators alike.
We got a lot done today and we can build on it. Come join us in Frankfort to continue the work!

Our allies at the Campaign Legal Center put together a great tool at www.Restoreyourvote.org to help people figure out whether Steve Beshear's Executive Order applies to them.
