Lights, camera, action 🎥

VOCAL-KY leaders sat down with 502 Live Stream and our friend Tara Bassett to build our media chops before the next legislative session. We practiced our storytelling to make sure audiences know these fights are bigger than bills — it’s our lives on the line!

❤️ THANK YOU, KENTUCKY! We raised $16,000! ❤️

Because of our incredible supporters and matching gifts, VOCAL-KY raised $16,000 during Give for Good our biggest haul yet! 🎉🙌🏾

Every dollar supports our members, leaders, staff, and communities working to:

✊🏾 End mass incarceration
❤️ End HIV/AIDS
🏠 End homelessness
💜 End the failed War on Drugs

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared our posts, encouraged someone else to give, and helped spread the word. And thank you to the Community Foundation of Louisville for creating this opportunity for organizations like ours to grow grassroots giving.

Grassroots fundraising matters deeply to VOCAL-KY because we are a membership-led organization. Many of our members are experiencing homelessness or poverty, and paying membership dues isn't always possible. Your donations help make sure someone's ability to participate, organize, learn, and lead isn't determined by what's in their bank account.

These resources help our members organize around the issues affecting their lives and advocate for policies that save and improve lives.

📣 COME JOIN US TOMORROW!

Our VOCAL-KY Membership Meeting is tomorrow at 4 PM at our Louisville office, 723 S. Brook Street. All of our meetings are hybrid. Let us know if you need a link!

Yes, there is a lot of construction around Brook and Broadway but yes we are OPEN! 😊

We always have food thanks to our friends at Feed Louisville, and our meetings are a place to build community, develop leadership, learn organizing skills, and take collective action.

Our Louisville Drop-In Center is also open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM–2 PM for services and support.

We just returned from an amazing summit where we connected with people doing work around public health, substance use, HIV, homelessness, and community advocacy and we're bringing that energy right back home.

Thank you for believing in VOCAL-KY.ORG !!!
Thank you for investing in grassroots leadership. And most importantly, thank you for investing in our members.

See you tomorrow at 4 PM!

🚗❤️ And we’re off to Huntington, West Virginia y'all but we’re still working on humpday!

TOMORROW is and VOCAL-KY needs your help to raise $5,000+! Even better, five donors are starting us off with matching gifts, so your donation can go even further.
This is our third year participating in Give for Good, and we’re proud of what this four-year-old organization continues to accomplish with directly impacted people leading the way.

Without Louisville Metro funding, VOCAL-KY connects people to treatment, housing, medical care, transportation, meals, harm reduction services and our Drop-In Center, open Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 10–2.
But we don't just provide services, we develop leaders.
Our members, leaders and staff have reunited with family, continued their education, successfully returned home from incarceration, celebrated decades in recovery and grown into advocates giving back to their communities. ❤️

Today, we're headed to West Virginia to connect with regional, statewide and national partners working with communities impacted by substance use, the failed drug war, poverty, homelessness and health inequities. We're learning best practices and bringing that knowledge home to Kentucky.

And tomorrow, our own Stephanie Kaufman, Director of Harm Reduction, will represent VOCAL-KY as one of the organizations selected by the Community Foundation of Louisville to be highlighted for Give for Good! Look for her on the news! 📺
Now we need YOU.

Whether you give $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $500 or more, every donation matters. Thank you to our monthly donors, major donors and everyone who has invested in this work.

Please donate through our Give for Good Louisville link here: https://www.giveforgoodlouisville.org/organization/Vocal-Ky

Then text the link to someone and say:
“Hey, I support this organization. Will you donate too?”
A gift to VOCAL-KY goes a very long way.
Remember:
🎯 Goal: $5,000+
❤️ Five matching donors
✊🏾 Directly impacted leadership
🏠 Services + organizing + advocacy

Let’s meet and BEAT our goal together!

Every day, VOCAL-KY is building a movement of low-income Kentuckians who are dedicated to ending the AIDS epidemic, the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, and homelessness. YOU can be part of this work by making a donation through at giveforgoodlouisville.org/Vocal-KY (link in bio in Linktree).

The impact of these issues on Kentucky is tremendous. Communities in the south are experiencing the highest rate of new HIV infections; in 2024, more than 12,700 people were living with HIV/AIDS in Kentucky, including 339 who were newly diagnosed. In 2024, Kentucky ranked 11th in the nation for fatal overdose rate, and the overdose rate continues to be higher for Black Kentuckians than other races. The failed war on drugs exacerbates rising rates of overdose deaths, HIV and hepatitis C infections, and mass incarceration. Kentucky shamefully incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than any democracy on earth – 930 per 100,000 residents – spending $722 million a year on jails and prisons, with people of color overrepresented in Kentucky prisons and jails. In the January 2025 Point-in-Time county, almost 5,800 people were experiencing homelessness across Kentucky, and, in Louisville, homelessness increased 41% from 2018 to 2021 and continued to increase another 6% from 2024 to 2025. We also see increasing criminalization of homelessness through the “Safer Kentucky Act” passed in 2024, as well as local camping bans.

Help us fight for systemic change rooted in justice, compassion, and love!
