Reflecting on the results in KY from earlier this week I want to talk about civic engagement generally. Appalachians for Appalachia (@Appalatchuh) was the ONLY c(3) org to run a campaign in all 40 Appalachian counties, directly reaching around 40,000 18-40 year-old rural voters.
We ran the biggest c(3) direct voter contact campaign in Kentucky this year. We directly contacted over 40,000 young (18-40), rural voters in a campaign across ALL 40 Appalachian counties in Eastern Kentucky encouraging them to vote!
We are working to ensure all Kentuckians have access to all contraceptive options & reproductive health services. But we need your support to make this possible❗Please consider making a donation to help us support those in our community: loom.ly/6D5RvWY

Say hi to Iris Sidikman (they/them), our new harm reduction program coordinator! 👋
Voter outreach in Appalachia is vital in securing the nation’s future. We know from studies that areas w/ the highest poverty rates also have the lowest levels of civic engagement. There is power in voting, speaking w/ electeds, & activism in community. & that’s our mission.
What is #WestVirginiaDay? 🎉 The day WV was added to the Union! It’s not all perfect, but it’s still worth celebrating.
Call that ol’ bird. 📞

What is happening in a small western North Carolina town should worry everyone 🧵
I am begging you to give a shit about small towns.
Imma need more of my Appalachian family to get in touch with their internal rage with regard to Canton, NC. I’m not seeing enough people - who I know care about solidarity - raising hell about this. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/app…
Jimmy Carter is the last of his kind. An unfailingly kind man who saw the grief and pain in our world and said, “Send me, Lord.” He wielded his significant power with a weightless love, a kind of love nearly extinct from our world. I wish him all the best.
Thank god for rural progressive women. I’ve said it before and will say it again, it’ll be an Appalachian woman who saves the world. They are filled with fire and spite. And just enough love to make it work.
Like I’m just not sure how we’re supposed to process the level of repeat trauma that climate change puts people through. I know that folks in the Gulf and out West have been dealing with this for a long time. How do you do it? You can’t just move every time. It’s everywhere??
john fetterman just did the bravest thing any elected official has done in my living memory
It honestly matters so much that a big, tough looking guy like John Fetterman is honest and open about being treated for depression.
We’re happy Sen. Fetterman is getting the help he needs, and being upfront about his depression. This type of honesty helps de-stigmatize mental health
Governor issued a state of emergency for all 55 counties and he ain’t wrong for once. We are def in a state of emergency and not just because of the rain.
I used to think I’d succeed despite where I grew up. Now, I know I’ve succeeded BECAUSE of where I grew up. I want the next generation to know the power they hold in being from communities like mine. Together, we are changing the narrative of what it means to be Appalachian.
Quick reminder that Appalachian people are not collateral damage or acceptable losses. Ever.
God, I love my job and my people. Met SO many amazing folks doing unbelievable work against the odds at Black Policy Day with @BlackByGodWV today! Follow my nonprofit and policy work @Appalatchuh 💙 #blackpolicyday2023
Norfolk Southern (@nscorp) has offered $25,000 in damages to the town of East Palestine, Ohio for the massive derailment and chemical spill of vinyl chloride. $25,000 for blowing up a town. For positioning the air and water. For killing pets and livestock. This is egregious.
