Singing For Democracy, Georgetown

Later this month, on Saturday, July 31st, we'll have our third Singing For Democracy event, this one in Georgetown, at 5pm at the Ed Davis Learning Center (140 Ed Davis Ln, Georgetown). 

We've had Singing For Democracy Gospel Fest in Lexington and Louisville in the past seven months, each bringing choirs and former felons together to fight felony disenfranchisement in the names of justice, faith, forgiveness, recovery, and music. 

Nearly 600 people have attended the Louisville or Lexington events and we're hoping to organize a large group to come out in Scott County, partially because that is the home town of Senator Damon Thayer, the man who has so far refused to hear our bill to re-enfranchise former felons who have served their debt to society. 

This should be a powerful event that brings together local church choirs and others to talk about Voting Rights in Thayer's hometown. 

And here are some smaller events to help plan and publicize it.  If you can come out to these, it would be a big help, particularly if you live in Scott County.

- July 15th – Scott Co Singing For Democracy Planning Meeting - 7pm, outside of the Ed Davis Learning Center.
- July 22nd – Scott Co Singing For Democracy Planning Meeting - 7pm, outside of the Ed Davis Learning Center.
- Sunday, July 25th – Whistle-stop tour of Churches to invite them out to the Gospel Fest
- Tuesday, July 27th – Meet at the Ed Davis Learning Center at 5pm to canvass the Boston and neighborhood and leave door-hangers for Singing For Democracy.  Then, pass out handbills at the basketball game at the Ed Davis Learning Center at 6:30pm.
- Thursday, July 29th – Meet at the Ed Davis Learning Center at 5pm to canvass the Boston and neighborhood and leave door-hangers for Singing For Democracy.  Then, pass out handbills at the basketball game at the Ed Davis Learning Center at 6:30pm.
