CANVAS with ACLU-KY on October 31

Our goal is to knock on 1800 doors by Election Day. We will be talking to our neighbors about issues that are important to us and the importance of considering those issues when going to the polls to vote. Each canvass will include a training at the beginning, so newcomers and seasoned canvassers are more than welcome! You will receive information on the meet-up location in the week leading up to each canvass.

The Carl L. Wedekind Bill of Rights Dinner

The Carl L. Wedekind Bill of Rights Dinner is an evening dedicated to celebrating the enduring fight for civil liberties and the people who make that work possible across Kentucky. At a time when so many fundamental rights are being challenged in courts, classrooms, communities, and legislatures, this gathering is both a celebration of progress and a recommitment to the work ahead. We are especially honored to welcome keynote speaker Deborah Archer, President of the National American Civil Liberties Union, a nationally recognized expert on civil rights, civil liberties, and racial justice. We hope you will join us for an inspiring evening of reflection, connection, and renewed commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every Kentuckian.
