We had an amazing time connecting with other people ready to make a change. Let’s keep this momentum going. Make a plan to vote early! No excuse is needed to vote early. And you can go to any of the locations during early voting.

This is exactly what you see from dictators. The Trump administration sent federal agents to raid a U.S. Representative's home, targeting her because she's an outspoken critic over alleged inaccuracies in paperwork filed by her parents > 25 years ago. We can't sit back and act like this is normal.

POSTCARDS FOR DEMOCRACY! Local races are often decided by a few hundred votes. A handwritten card from a neighbor can make the difference. It doesn't matter what district you live in; Metro Council makes decisions for our city, so we need them all to be great. Sun, Oct. 4, 1 pm, Locals Pizza Hub

What happens when a data center moves into your community?  A report from the University of Michigan’s Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program shows that when big tech comes to town, local communities get left holding the bag.

Metro Council voted NO to a crucial one-year pause on new data centers. Instead of taking a year to protect our community, they approved a compressed six-month pause. Six months isn’t enough time to get this right. And we can’t let them waste a single day.

3. Mandate facilities to continuously recycle their water instead of draining millions of gallons from our local water supply. 4. Ensure tech companies are legally and financially responsible for cleaning up their sites, so taxpayers aren't left with toxic industrial waste or empty concrete shells.

TAKE ACTION TODAY: 1. Email the 16 MC members who voted NO. Let them know we’re watching their every move over the next 6 months. 2. Flood their channels with demands for strict regulations. 3. Attend upcoming planning meetings to speak out.4. Hold those who voted NO accountable in November.

Voting for Democrats in November is the only way to stop the Republican assault on older Americans and hold the GOP accountable. A healthy democracy must protect the economic security of its seniors. But reckless Republican policies are weakening programs older Americans worked decades to earn.

ICE isn't something that just happens in other cities. It's happening in our city, to our neighbors. On 7/22/26, local nursing studen Sarafinah Bukirwa, who has sickle cell anemia, was detained by ICE at the Louisville airport. Her detention came just one day after she was hospitalized.

She has been kept for nearly a week without her vital, prescribed medications. During a phone call from the detention center on July 28, Sarafinah told her brother that her heart was “racing out of her chest,” her urine was “dark like blood,” and her vomit looked “like pink meat.”

Mayor Greenberg must not trust Louisvillians. Shameka Parrish-Wright does. When it comes to the Flock surveillance cameras, Greenberg thinks you shouldn't know where they are. Meanwhile, Shameka demanded transparency. She wants camera locations published online like they do in Lexington, KY.

This is another example of Greenberg's lack of transparency. He won't even meet with No Data Center 502 about the Campground Road Hyperscale Data Center (and other data centers on the way) that will suck up as much power in one month as 400K homes, causing skyrocketing utility bills and pollution.

Greenberg says he supports planning code amendments, but he hasn’t publicly commented on the strength of the initial proposed amendments or the newly proposed amendments, which still don’t go far enough (e.g. data centers up to 500,000 square feet are still allowed).
