Refusing to deliver full funding for #SNAP assistance for Americans is NOT the result of a government shutdown. It’s a decision.
Urge our leaders to demand that President Trump immediately - FULLY restore families’ food assistance.

NEW: We report daily the number of people being held in LMDC's main jail complex, which remains dangerously overcrowded and understaffed.
Now, at our urging, we now have access to the daily numbers of people being held on 48 ICE detainers.

A government shutdown doesn’t just halt paychecks—it puts food out of reach.

SNAP benefits keep millions of families fed.

Tell your representatives: stop the standoff and protect our communities.

Before you opt in, be sure to read the fine print!

LMPD's "Connect Louisville" public safety initiative deserves scrutiny.

Access to paid parental leave is a reproductive rights issue and a racial justice issue!
BIPoC Kentuckians are less likely to have access to paid and unpaid time off.
Take time to learn more and take action!

Trump targeted books about race, gender & sexuality in military-based schools service members' children attend. A federal judge ruled that the books had to be returned and the curriculum had to be restored.

“I think it’s a good jumping off point to continue more rule changes and more accountability. Because police want trust from the citizens, but you can’t have trust without accountability."
