NEW: Feeding programs across Kentucky help kids eat before, during and after school, as well as over the summer. But the OBBBA threatens to increase student hunger by limiting the reach of these programs. Here's how:

By cutting health and food assistance, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will result in school feeding programs reaching fewer students.

Medicaid cuts are a threat to moms and babies across Kentucky. A @washingtonpost analysis finds that if 35 at-risk hospitals close, the drive to the nearest birthing hospital would be increased by 30+ miles for residents of 22 rural counties.

Incredible to see all the pro-worker energy around the state today. Kentuckians know that when workers win, we all win. Happy Labor Day

Do what you can to support these workers in the coming week, because their win is a win for all of us.

It happened in Kenutcky in 2023 when UAW workers at the Big 3 auto makers won a 25% increase in wages among other key improvements. Immediately, BOSK and Toyota bumped up wages. And that's just a taste of what would come if those workers had a union of their own.

Because when wage earners join together and fight, it also helps workers at similar businesses. To compete for employees or because they fear unions, those companies increase job quality.

Workers at the Hardin County BOSK plant will vote on forming a union next week. Their campaign to win a union with @UAW is about safe working conditions, a voice on the job and affordable healthcare. But it's also a huge opportunity for every working-class Kentuckian.

Back in June, students at our Summer Policy Institute told us why they stand with BOSK workers in their fight to win a union. Now they're part of @UAW's final push ahead of next week's vote. We're proud to stand with BOSK workers and so proud of these young leaders.
When workers win, we all win! Kentucky community members support BOSK workers in their fight to win a union. #StandUpBOSK #UAWRegion8

The Kentucky director of @RightOnCrime uses our latest report to make the conservative case against criminal legal system fines and fees. "If the only way to keep a budget afloat is to jail the poor and churn court debt, then the budget is the problem —not the people."

NEW: As Kentucky students head back to school, state funding for K-12 education continues to fall well below past efforts, preventing overdue investments to shrink class size, increase student supports and hire more teachers and bus drivers.
