Kentucky People's Union

Kentucky People's Union Similar to a labor union, we organize to build the power of everyday people in our community. We know that folks are having a hard time on so many issues.

Ashland, Kentucky is our home base because of its awesome and resilient people and the deep history of labor organizing and multiracial solidarity in Appalachia. Our hope is that in conversations with our community we can identify those issues across neighborhoods, cities, and the entire commonwealth. We can use that knowledge to hold those with power: whether it be landlords, industries, or politicians- accountable to us - the people who give them their power and position.

From our most recent community meeting, we love our members but there’s plenty of room for more! Don’t be afraid to come...

July is Disability Pride Month and it is a great time to educate yourself on the needs and challenges our disabled siblings face in a society that was not built for them.
The Disability Pride Flag contains six colors. The black background represents mourning for disabled people who have lost their lives due to illness, ableism, negligence, and su***de. Each colored stripe symbolizes a different aspect of the disabled community. Red represents physical disabilities, yellow represents cognitive and intellectual disabilities, white represents invisible and undiagnosed disabilities, blue represents mental illness, and green represents sensory perception disabilities.

Justice for sweet baby Kohen Wiley. The police violence that continues to target Black people must end. There is nothing we can do to undo this horrific violence, but we can do what we can to put ourselves in the way of this death machine. May our work honor your life and the lives of so many others taken by this unjust system.

Strikes continue at Delaney Hall. People are fighting detention warehouses being built in their cities. Candidates all over the country who are anti-ICE are winning their primaries. Abolish ICE. Our love for each other won't be dimmed.
