Welcome to KFTC

Kentuckians For The Commonwealth is a community
of people taking action for justice. We work with people to organize in their home communities and across the state.  We help everyday community members become extraordinary community leaders.  We support community leaders as they build effective organizations.  Together, we win important issue campaigns.  If you want a better Kentucky - for all of us - join KFTC.  Here you will find information, training, and people like you.

It’s all about empowering people!

The more people that get involved- people whose voices are not being heard in the politicalDoug process- the more effective you are in the long term beyond just winning particular issues. When people come together and work on issues their energy, enthusiasm and impact is greatly multiplied. It's like the Richter scale for judging the power of earthquakes- each increase in number increases the power by 10 times. It's been proven repeatedly in human history, American history and KFTC history that there is power for social change in numbers. The greater the number, the faster the social change.

I can’t sit back anymore and let things go on the way that they are. If I want a better life for my son, I need to keep working and Crystal Blackburnfighting for him and his kids.


Learning how to organize has changed my life.  First, I think, it gives you pride because you’re standing up for something that you believe in and have people backing you. It’s important to organize because nothing will get done if we don’t organize and people will continue to settle and think that this is the only thing they are supposed to get.
