State budget cuts costing students and jobs in Central Kentucky
We're starting to learn more about the impact of the massive budget cuts proposed and passed by Kentucky's elected leaders earlier this year.
Welcome to the 4th Annual Louisville Loves Mountains Day!
Louisville Loves Mountains has officially kicked off, welcome y'all!
We're here in Louisville, KY to spread the word that our state and our people deserve better (and know better) than to destroy our biodiversity and sell our quality of life away to King Coal! Our mountains are precious and so are the people who inhabit them. It's not just our history, heritage, and environment at stake; it's our health, jobs, legislation, resources, and future energy solutions that we need to work to protect and grow. Please join us in a city-style hootenanny to raise awareness of the fact that we all live downstream!
