We cannot slide quietly into the dark! That’s why Kentucky is joining states across the nation who will be holding simultaneous assemblies and marches at their state capitals. We are going to raise our voices and to make our votes demands. We are going to Frankfort to deliver a moral indictment of the cynical priorities and immoral policies of the leadership of the Kentucky Legislature. Our state capitals are not just symbolic; they are the policy hubs whose decisions directly impact people facing systemic poverty and the interlocking injustices. Join with us, poor people, clergy and faith leaders, and advocates in building an action that will send a message to the legislators responsible for the unrelenting policy violence against the 1.5 million poor and low-income people in our state that we won’t be silent anymore.
The march will be along the sidewalk, about 4 blocks from the roundabout at the foot of the Capital building where the Rally will take place. We will have some chairs available for those unable to stand for the rally. There will be a handicapped accessible port a potty available as well as 2 other port a potties. We will be hosting the rally at street level. If distance is a problem, park along Capital Ave and join the Rally from there. Parking is also available in the lot to the Left of the Capital building and can be accessed by driving around the back of the Capital building. Spanish and ASL interpretation will be available.
