Legislation

Everyone has made mistakes, and no person should be defined by the worst parts of their past. It's time for Kentucky to permanently restore voting rights to people with felony convictions in their past. Momentum is still building with more lawmakers supporting this bill each year.

The death penalty is not justice, and the government should never have the authority to end a person's life. Abolition has earned more support than in years past and we will continue advocating for the complete abolition of this barbaric punishment.

Students need education that is scientifically and medically accurate, and includes comprehensive information.

Fairness would protect LGBTQ Kentuckians from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodation. A majority of Kentuckians become protected by local ordinances in 2021. It's time to extend this to all people, no matter where they live.

State agencies and local officials must be accountable to the people.

Public schools should not subject children to corporal punishment.

Also known as a "gag rule," this legislation would limit the information healthcare providers can share with their patients. Similar legislation is filed each year and some has already become law.

No person should be subjected to solitary confinement, especially not Kentucky kids. Legislation to limit solitary confinement has advanced in recent years. We will continue pushing to end it entirely.

No person should be denied access to healthcare because of who they are. This legislation failed in recent years, but will likely be filed in 2023 and gain more traction.
