Even in trying times, we get to wake up every day feeling a bit more proud of the Commonwealth and the people it produces. What a masterpiece work a bunch of our best made ❤️

Richard Young from CivicLex for our Civic Media Series with Free Press: “If local news is going to lead the way on civic health, it can’t just look like reporting as per the newsrooms of yesterday.” objectivejournalism.org/2023/12/richar…

Was happy to write this piece for Next City's 20th Anniversary edition. If we want to address the very clear crisis in American civic life, we gotta start local. Happy to share some of my favorite examples here!

If we want to continue our shared American experiment, we must foster communities with strong civic health.

Love seeing some of this work coming out of the Lexington Herald-Leader - not just that they’re reporting on some of the important folks influencing state politics, but explaining how and why they’re doing it. Good stuff. 👍

Love seeing a little CivicLex shout out in here! 💙

This happens SO much to me at national convenings, especially in democracy & adjacent spaces. Like, dozens of times annually. Sometimes it not even spoken - the skeptical glances after you say where you’re from. Great thread about our beautiful, imperfect Commonwealth💙

This is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a game of basketball

Glad Michael Adams, KY Secretary of State is highlighting the needs to improve civic learning/health during #CivicLearningWeek. Our way of life is rooted in self government, and when we start to fail at that, everything else suffers. In Lex, you can keep up your lifelong civic learning through CivicLex

The winner of our first "I Voted" sticker contest is middle schooler Lillian Bonczkiewicz of Carlisle County. The margin, while close, is outside the recanvass threshold and Lizard Man has graciously conceded.
