As soon as summer hit, the Central Kentucky chapter has been out and about talking to folks about our work. On June 25th members of the chapter's fairness committee canvassed at the Lexington Pride festival collecting signatures for their safer restrooms petition. This was the fourth year for Lexington pride and there were easily over 10,000 folks in attendance. Chapter members had the opportunity to have some really great conversation about KFTC's work and in just two hours were able to collect 216 signatures.

 

Just a week later chapter members were at it again at Lexington's huge fourth of July celebration. From 9am - 6pm folks stopped by the KFTC table to talk about our work and to sign our restoration of voting rights petition and our petition to end mountain top removal coal mining.

The next big festival that you can catch KFTC at will be Lexington's annual roots and heritage festival on Saturday September 10th. Tabling/canvassing can be a really great way to get your feet wet and learn about KFTC. If you're interested in volunteering with us at Roots and Heritage, then please contact the local organizer at ondine@kftc.org
