Sen. McConnell Lexington Office Protest and Action
Start: Monday, July 26, 2021• 2:00 PM
In partnership with 45 other states, Kentucky will join the Poor People's Campaign Moral Monday event with a Protest and Action at Sen. McConnell's Lexington office, asking the pointed question : "Do you support our Demands?"
We demand that the Senate:
- End the Filibuster
- Pass all provisions of the For the People Act
- Fully restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act
- Raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hr
We will show up with singing. We will show up with art. We will show up as people speaking out about how we are impacted by McConnell's obstructions that are in the way of Kentuckians who demand a healthy democracy and an economy that lifts from the bottom.
Will you be there? We must move FORWARD TOGETHER, NOT ONE STEP BACK!
The
Poor People's Campaign is grounded in a fundamental principle of
nonviolence. Toward that, we are encouraging attendees to these events
to attend a Nonviolence Training before Monday's actions. The training
will be online via Zoom and there are two opportunities to attend, which will be shared with you once you register.
This event will follow COVID safety guidelines including:
- encouraging masking
- encouraging physical distancing
- masks available at the event, which will be mostly outdoors
Attendees are asked to park on Corporate Dr., which is a public city street with free parking.
Please bring water, sun protection, and snacks if needed.
Event will have shade available nearby, water, and snacks for attendees.
