Come to Frankfort: Upcoming advocacy options

Diocesan News & Publications

Legislators watch - and tally - constituents' views. Whether you call, email, make an appointment in home offices, or go all the way to Frankfort for rallies or organized "advocacy days", you have an impact.

The Kentucky Council of Churches would like you to know about several upcoming "advocacy days" in Frankfort. These events are not sponsored by the KCC. But in each case there is at least one issue that is a priority for the member churches in our common voice. We encourage you to speak from a faith perspective if you choose to participate.
