Everyone,

Before we get to this week’s newsletter, we wanted to say that we are deeply saddened to learn of former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. Our sincere thoughts and well wishes are with him and his family during this difficult time.

We honor Joe Biden by continuing the fight against authoritarianism.

------------------------------------------------------------

Join us for our next big protest event! Save the date!

Saturday, June 14th!!!

No Kings!

Trump wants a military parade for his birthday.
We'll respond with a protest and march in downtown Lexington!

Details Coming Soon!
Hosted by Progress Kentucky, BlueGrass Activist Alliance, 50501 KY, Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance, KY 120 United-AFT, Gathering for Democracy, and Capital Indivisible.
🔊 Call to Action!
We've been renting audio equipment for every rally—but we're in this for the long haul. It's time to invest in our own sound system so we can keep showing up loud and clear in this fight for democracy.
Maybe we can get it in time for June 14? 🤔 🙏

We can’t do it without you. Chip in now—every dollar makes a difference!
