🌟 On July 17, 2024, we honor the 4th anniversary of the passing of Congressman John Lewis by celebrating his lifelong dedication to voting rights. 🌟

Join us at Farish Theater, Lexington Public Library, 140 E Main St, Lexington, KY. Doors open at 5:45 PM, and the event will conclude at 8:45 PM.

We’ll commemorate his legacy and rally support for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, Freedom to Vote Act, Native American Voting Rights Act, and DC Statehood. Hosted by NAACP, ABLE, and the League of Women Voters of Lexington & LWVKY, the evening features a screening of the documentary John Lewis: Get in the Way (2017, 54 min), voting rights trivia, prizes, food, and “good trouble”! Voter registration will also be available (and learn how to help your friends register and keep up with election deadlines! )

Let’s come together to educate, motivate, and activate our community!
