Kentuckians For The Commonwealth

The concert’s primary objective is to raise money and awareness for Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, a statewide community and nonprofit that is celebrating its 30th birthday this year.  KFTC is a community of people taking action for justice. We work with people to organize in their home communities and across the state. We help everyday community members become extraordinary community leaders. Together, we win important issue campaigns. KFTC is unique in that our power comes from our membership, the faces you see in your community every day. 

WE HAVE A VISION.  We are working for a day when Kentuckians-and all people-enjoy a better quality of life. When the lives of people and communities matter before profits.  When our communities have good jobs that support our families without doing damage to the water, air, and land.  When companies and the wealthy pay their share of taxes and can’t buy elections. When all people have health care, shelter, food, education, and other basic needs. When children are listened to and valued. When discrimination is wiped out of our laws, habits, and hearts.  And when the voices of ordinary people are heard and respected in our democracy.
