We've planned a Singing For Democracy Gospel Fest in Georgetown to Restore Voting Rights to Former Felons - and we'd love you to attend!
Singing For Democracy
This Saturday, July 31st
5:00pm
Ed Davis Center
(140 Ed Davis Ln, Georgetown)
It's a free event featuring great church choirs, soloists, and other acts from all over Scott County and the rest of the state. We'll also be premiering our digital stories video that tells the stories of a set of former felons in Kentucky.
Kentucky is one of the two most difficult states for a former felon to get their voting rights back in. 186,000 Kentuckians can't vote because of these laws - including 1 in 4 African Americans.
We think that after someone has served their time, they should be given back their right to vote - because that's the fair thing to do and because it make's Kentucky's Democracy stronger.
But Senator Damon Thayer is single-handedly blocking legislation to restore voting rights - so we're putting pressure on him in his own hometown of Georgetown.
We hope you can make it out for a great free evening of fun for a good cause!
