Where have KFTC members been lately?
As part of a nationwide Moral Monday action at Senate offices across the country, KFTC members joined the Kentucky Poor People’s Campaign outside Rand Paul’s office in Bowling Green and made four demands: 1. End the filibuster; 2. Support a $15 minimum wage; 3. Support the restoration of the Voting Rights Act; and 4. Support the For the People Act. Senator Paul did not support any of these demands, even after speaking with his staff for over two hours.
Residents of City Heights and KFTC members spoke at both Kenton County Fiscal Court and Covington City Commission about affordable housing issues – especially with the planned displacement of 244 families over the next three years from the public housing at City Heights. Members are asking to end discrimination based on source of income, create a housing coordinator across northern Kentucky to fight for both temporary and permanent housing, and to set aside a percentage of units in future developments for affordable housing.
