Economic Justice
We want a better quality of life for all Kentuckians.
We’re working for better schools, better health and wellness services, cleaner water, more affordable education and a level playing field – so every Kentuckian has the opportunity to succeed. As member Dana Beasley Brown says:
“I don’t want companies to want to hire my children because they’re cheap, but because they’re skilled, educated, and creative.”
We’re working hard for these changes because we know that Kentucky is worth it. Every Kentuckian should be able to live, work, and put food on the table, right here at home.
The Kentucky we deserve is possible, but we have to make the investment if we want a better future. That begins with comprehensive tax reform
Our Work
Tax Reform
Kentuckians are worth good jobs, clean water, and quality educations. The Kentucky we deserve is possible if we reform our state taxes.
