Perry County member a featured speaker at "Green Your Money" event

Last summer Pallavi Podapati, of Hazard, worked with the Perry and surrounding KFTC chapters on several adventures, from a listening project across several eastern Kentucky counties to capturing the March on Blair Mountain, WV in photographs.  She is currently a pre-med student at the University of Pennsylvania and very active in local Philadelphia community campaigns to encourage banks and corporations to de-fund mountaintop removal in Appalachia and invest in mountain communities. 

This Wednesday, Feb. 29 starting at 12:00 noon, Pallavi is a featured speaker, with others like George Lackey, at a new "Green Your Money" Initiative Kickoff event for her organizing efforts in her home community of Hazard and her current community of Philadelphia.  We look forward to having Pallavi back in Hazard this summer!
