“If you don’t have a seat at the table we have no problem standing on the table with a megaphone.” 12yo Mari Copeny reminds adults Gen Z won’t wait ‘their turn’ to change the world, but it would be nice having some help from adults. #ChangeMaker #YDIG2019 #LouderForTheFolksInBack

W over 9K responses to the Race, Ethnicity, & School Climate Student Survey, we are enormously grateful to our intergenerational allies for promoting the link & hesitate to ask for even one more thing. But the survey window closes 12/20 & geographic representation matters!
Our judges decided on a tie for 3rd place in the 13-18 age group #SingYourAnthem contest. Madison & Abbot (13) sing “Just Be” and Holt (16) & Cabe (13) sing “Freedom Hero." We hope you enjoy their anthems as much as we do! youtu.be/Ad_ZLNLR-rk youtu.be/9KaFPq8KxHU

My thanks to @KYStateParks for opening up lodging for displaced families after last night. I’m told rooms at the parks are coordinated through local emergency management to the State Emergency Management folks. #kywx

Kentucky is at its best when we show up for each other. And there is a whole lot of that happening today. Despair will not have the last word.

Midday Celebration: Both of our Commonwealth bills from FSMS were highly ranked and they both passed the House and Senate. One of our BG bills presented well this morning but unfortunately didn’t pass out of chambers. ALL of the delegates from FSMS are debating so well! @KYYMCA
Continually amazed and inspired by this @KYYMCA alum and @KYStuVoiceTeam founder! – at Louisville, KY
