Chapter: Southern Kentucky

Do you want Bowling Green’s best characteristics to grow even faster than Bowling Green itself?

So do we. So join us in working for fair housing, clean and affordable energy, and in building local support for our statewide work on tax justice, voting rights, and clean, safe and affordable energy options.

Working together, we are building the movement for economic, environmental and social justice in southern Kentucky.

We’d love to have you join for our monthly meetings every 4th Tuesday at The Foundry. Bring your friends!

Rolling through streets and neighborhoods, members of the Southern KY chapter of KFTC visited the Westside where we have focused our canvassing, reminding people to vote with home made signs and our voices.  We then visited two polling places and WKU, and finished on the square downtown.

We also did two interviews and video for WKU-TV with Ka'Seana Blanton and had a photographer follow us around for the whole ride.

We're also giving rides to the polls and fielding phone calls, and doing it all in style.

Here in the Central KY time zone, we have just over two hours left before the polls close.

Voter Mobilization update from Bowling Green / Southern Kentucky

Alan Smith on November 6, 2012 in , Southern Kentucky, Voter Empowerment

phone bank(1)Howdy from Bowling Green! The SOKY chapter got together for our second phone bank last night, and it was as much fun as we coud handle!

Eight members braved the cold and drizzly weather for pizza and a little democracy in action.

We called around 250 people and had some great conversations. Our meeting space is often shared by ESL classes, and we were delighted when one student and one instructor volunteered to make calls with us!

We also hope to have another student ride with us in the sound truck today, joining Jason Brown on the megaphone.

We'll also have a phalanx of bike riders alongside the truck today...pictures of that to come.

Voter Registration Report from Southern Kentucky Chapter

Alan Smith on October 22, 2012 in , Southern Kentucky, Voter Empowerment

Greetings from Bowling Green! 

The Southern Kentucky chapter had a blast with voter empowerment this year, registering 469 voters and having a ton of great conversations along the way. photo(1)

Our efforts began with regular tabling at the Community Farmers Market every Saturday, where we have made many good connections for future work. We also committed ourselves to canvassing often on the west side of Bowling Green, a low-income/minority section of town.  Our chapter meetings are held at a community center in this neighborhood, and members have given substantial effort over the years to forge relationships with residents of the west side.
