When Kentucky’s general assembly resumes on January 4, 2022, educators and their allies, as well as students and their protectors, must band together to fight back on the attacks on teaching and educators’ ability to #TeachTruth in their classrooms. Kentucky Students Deserve The Truth! Here are some ways you can participate:
 You can do this every day between now and when the bill has passed both chambers. History tells us that if enough of us call, pressure could prevent the bill from even leaving committee. Make sure your messages to go ALL lawmakers, because they need to understand that their vote may not affect their district that much, but it most certainly can hurt districts like Jefferson and Fayette County. |
 You may also use the links at Save Our Schools KY website to reach ALL lawmakers’ email addresses in just 3 clicks. |
 Use these sample letters we’ve written or write your own. Send it to editors of all of the papers you are aware of, locally, statewide, even nationally! All Eyes On Kentucky! Also, see: How to Submit an Op-Ed |
 You can help boost the influence of those actions by sharing, liking, retweeting, and reposting #TeachTruth content any time, day or night. Change your profile picture to show up in solidarity! Share memes and access legislators’ handles using our Social Media Toolkit or Download social media images from Zinn Project. |
