LWVKY’s Julie Kugler-Ackley checked in with Mary Kate Genis from the LWV Cincinnati Chapter at the Cyndi Lauper concert on July 29. Cyndi Lauper’s tour features an Action Center connecting concert goers with civic organizations such as the League of Women Voters, Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign.

The crowd braved the rain to turn out for the ***Good Trouble Lives On*** rally in honor of the late John Lewis on July 17. LWVKY co-sponsored the rally, along with LWV of Lexington, Gathering for Democracy, NAACP of Lexington, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Neighbors Immigration, Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance, the AFT, 50501, and the Bluegrass Activist Alliance.
