WHERE HAVE KFTC MEMBERS BEEN LATELY?

Meredith Wadlington, KFTC organizer with the Central Kentucky chapter, traveled south to help get out the vote with Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) during January’s Georgia run-off elections – an election that had high stakes for the country. SURJ’s primary purpose in Georgia was to organize poor and working class white people to impact the election. They worked in coalition with Black and people of color-led organizations, like New Georgia Project and Mijente, to secure victories for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff and Democratic control of the U.S. Senate.

A similar state-based coalition exists here in Kentucky, with both KFTC and SURJ taking part. Search for a SURJ chapter near you or support their work with a donation at www.showingupforracialjustice.org.

NKY member Kimmy Sandlin was tabling at Roebling Point Books & Coffee and talking to folks about the RECLAIM Act and the Empower Kentucky plan.
