Hi Everyone!

Thank you all for your resistance efforts this past week! Despite the heavy rain, we had about 200 people show up and speak out against corporate greed and corruption at our May Day Strong event. We are grateful to each and every one of you! We thank the volunteers, musicians, speakers, and others who helped make this event happen. We thank all the coalition groups who planned and organized the event, including 50501 KY, Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance, KY 120 United-AFT, Gathering for Democracy, Progress Kentucky, Capital Indivisible, KY State AFL-CIO, NALC, and CWA. We also thank Kenzington Stalwart for creating the amazing video included in this email. You all rock!
