What Our Partners Do
Our partners are primarily organizations who work on grassroots and base building, voter engagement, policy advocacy, and mutual aid and direct service. Their expertise covers a broad range of topics, including housing, LGBTQIA+ rights, voter participation, environmental protection, climate survival and mutual aid, and more.
And our partners reflect the communities all across Kentucky that we’re organizing in and the common ground we’re building together: young people, people of color, poor and working class people, people who are currently or formerly incarcerated, LGBTQIA+ folks, and immigrants and refugees.
But no matter where a partner is located, what issue they’re working on, or what their primary strategy is, every partner plays an important role in the overall hard work it takes to build enough people-power to win.
