Perry County

by netcorps_admin — last modified January-04-2012 06:24 PM
 
The Perry County chapter works on a range of different environmental and economic justice issues.  We support communities and individuals impacted by lax enforcement of regulations around mining and other natural resource extraction. 

We also fight for better access to health care, to create a fair, adequate tax system, to protect our streams, and to change the enforcement system on coal truck weight limits. 

Our voter empowerment project has involved getting input from folks all over the county about issues their concerned about, distributing candidate surveys, working with others to hold candidate forums, and encouraging people to vote on election day.

"KFTC empowers residents to bring about positive changes in their communities.  It gives members confidence that they can make a difference. You are not one person, but part of a statewide organization of thousands supporting you and your cause."

-Russell Oliver, Perry County Chapter member

 

 

 

 

Lyle Snider"As a public health care professional, being involved with KFTC is the best thing I can do to improve the health of the area.  KFTC is addressing the determinants of poor health better than any other entity in Eastern Kentucky.  People are sick because they're poor, their homes and drinking water is being destroyed by outlaw coal, and they don't have a voice in their communities."

-Lyle Snider, Perry County Chapter member
