Ground Organizing in Scott County is still going strong.  Members had a very productive meeting this past week in which we spent a lot of time learning about the Owen Rural Electric Co-op race in which two KFTC members are running.  We scheduled a series of door-to-door canvassing and other activities to help spread the word. 

   We also spent some time talking about how to continue to do great community organizing around our campaign to restore voting rights to former felons who have served their debt to society.  The largest idea that emerged was to organize a Singing For Democracy Gospel Fest, much like the one that brought over 400 people out in Lexington last year.  This one will be focused in the Boston Community of Georgetown and will include church choirs and other acts, mostly from Scott County. 

Upcoming Scott County KFTC Events:

- Thursday, June 10th - First planning meeting for Scott County Singing For Democracy Gospel Fest to raise awareness of our campaign to restore voting rights to former felons.  Please come if you can, and bring your ideas of what local choirs should be a part of the program, how we can advertise it, etc.   Meeting at 6pm, we'll be meeting at the Lock and Key (Main St, Georgetown).
