KFTC and the New Power PAC have been pushing hard in recent days for Charles Booker who's really gaining steam. We're putting up 25,000 door stickies all across the state, running phone banks, sending texts, and helping people share their stories online.
Booker won endorsements from the Courier Journal, Herald Leader, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Matt Jones, and others in quick succession and is generally surging. It's within our ability to win this race for a candidate we're deeply excited about.

The primary election matters. When we vote, we’re choosing what kind of Kentucky we want to call home.
Most voting in the primary election will be by mail this election so we can keep each other safe. But this process is new, and we need to spread the word about how it works.

A new report from a diverse set of frontline organizations outlines a set of comprehensive solutions needed to respond to the cascading and interlocking crises our communities face, including the climate crisis, COVID-19, and structural racism and inequality.
The report, A People’s Orientation to a Regenerative Economy, offers community groups, policy advocates, and policymakers a pathway to solutions that work for frontline communities and workers. These ideas have been collectively strategized by community organizations, including KFTC, and leaders from across multiple frontline and grassroots networks and alliances to ensure that regenerative economic solutions and ecological justice.

In this moment there is a lot that divides us – especially as the COVID-19 keeps many of us physically apart. With that in mind, it makes coming together all the more important.

June 15 is the deadline to request mail ballots. Your ballot must be postmarked no later than June 23 and received by June 26 (but earlier is better!). Read the directions on your ballot carefully and follow all the instructions including signing both envelopes. Postage on ballots is already paid.There also will be local drop boxes at limited locations if you'd prefer to drop off your ballot (your county clerk can tell you where).

Voting will be a little different this year for the June 23 primary election, with most voting happening by mail. But there are a few different options Kentucky voters have to cast their ballot.
There will be a link where you can request a ballot at www.GoVoteKY.com starting May 22. You can alternately call your county clerk now to request a mail-in ballot, but that process will have added steps. You can find your county clerk's number at this website. Some county clerk websites also have an online form to request a ballot.

"I love zine-making because anyone can do it. You can have as few supplies as a piece of paper and a pencil and still make an incredible zine that informs, educates, inspires, provokes, entertains, empowers, or otherwise delights your own mind and those of the people you share it with."
