WHy Progress Kentucky

Progress Kentucky is a grassroots organization committed to building a better, more inclusive future for all Kentuckians. We believe that progress isn’t just possible – it’s necessary.

Through advocacy, outreach, and organizing, we empower communities across the Commonwealth to stand up for policies and leaders that reflect our shared values: fairness, equity, and justice.

The mission of this nonprofit, nonpartisan organization is to educate and engage voters across our commonwealth for better political outcomes
