Voter Empowerment
Voting Rights Campaign updates
Our campaign to restore voting rights to 312,000 people with felonies in their past continues to move forward as we enter election season, with work happening all over the state.
We asked candidates for Governor and Secretary of State about where they stand on this issue. Read those responses, and learn more about all of the statewide candidates on the ballot this fall, at our voter guide.
Our work to register and educate voters this year and build our electoral muscles is absolutely key to winning this issue. We plan on registering more than 2,000 voters, and talking with 62,500 voters in the next few months. It’s a big job, but it’s worth it. You can find ways to get involved or support this work here.
Meet and Greets build the base for real democracy
Most Kentuckians know that the political leaders now in office tend to not have the best interests of the people at heart. And until they do, we have a hard time bringing to life our vision for stronger and more just Kentucky.
To build strength and get more progressive people elected and better policies passed, KFTC members are taking to the streets, going door to door, talking to their neighbors, hosting events across the state and using phone, email and text to reach out to voters and remind them that who’s elected really does matter.
A new tool in the toolbox is an event they're calling a "Meet and Greet."
Through canvassing, tabling and other outreach efforts, KFTC is meeting a lot of new people out in the community. Some are interested in getting involved in fighting for democracy. It's going to take all of us to win in November and beyond, so we need large numbers of people to be engaged in our work.
We Choose What's Next!
Join members as we celebrate the end of a week's worth of voter empowerment work!
We'll be celebrating with music and poetry, and reminding ourselves about the moment we are in. Join us for an incredible evening!
Singing For Democracy
Join KFTC and allies to celebrate our democracy through music and movement! Listen to those who are shut out of our democracy, as well as folks who have only recently been able to be a part of it.
