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!
