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.

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.

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.

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.
