Calendar of Events

The LWV requires a camera or verbal check-in at the start of all of its online meetings. We do this to create a welcoming and open environment where we can hold each other accountable. Individuals unwilling to check-in will be removed from the  meeting. To create a space for open and honest discussion, the League also prohibits attendees from recording meetings via AI Otterbox or other recording systems. Should you require a meeting transcript for accessibility accommodation, please contact info@lwvky.org in advance to discuss options.

DFAD: Democracy Summer: Messaging Training

Declaration for American Democracy: In the 118th Congress (2023-2024), both the Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act once again received an enthusiastic re-introduction in the House and Senate with Democratic Leadership in both chambers declaring pro-democracy legislation a top priority as well as support from the White House. Unfortunately, these bills are at a stand still this session, but we can gear ourselves up for what's next.

The DFAD Coalition invites you to a training series this summer to be a part of the strong and prepared movement to pass the Freedom to Vote Act in the next Congress. Join us for our 4 part series to ensure we're ready to fight for Democracy on Day 1!

Our second training will be on messaging and getting out our pro-democracy message out there. Join us 4pm PT/7pm ET on July 30th with our expert trainers from ReThink Media!

VOCAL-KY: Kentucky Organizing Revival

VOCAL-KY has a 120 county focus even while based in Louisville, Kentucky.

We must organize to build people power that leads to better policies that help all Kentuckians survive and thrive no matter what zip code they live in. Please join our local and national partners, including People's Action for logistics and planning. We want groups doing work in Kentucky to sign up to table and to help us meet our goal of 200 organizers, base building organizations, and future organizers to Winchester, Kentucky June 7-9, 2024.
