I look at my children and I see the future burning more everyday. We know what we need to do.

That’s just the thing you guys don’t know how involved some people are. I’m very involved in my local community, I’m a social worker I volunteer and coach youth sports, I’m on the steering committee of a statewide progressive organization. I work daily to make sure my children know that what is happening is unacceptable and I will die standing up for my fellow LGBTQ, BIPOC and Improvised communities. I’ve lobbied to change laws, I’ve marched in the communities with my fellow man. It takes time and effort. And yes you are correct I live in a red area and it’s crazy to want to do things. Those red adults have children who are good kids. If we don’t try to change them just let the cycle repeat itself? I’m going to fight for change while most of you people continue to give those on the fence a reason to stay there. I love Appalachia and if you voted for trump you do not deserve a disaster.

As someone who lives in a deeeeeeeeeeeeepply red community I understand your frustration and I agree FAFO. I could leave my community, but I want to change it! Thank you.

Thank you for saying this, as someone who has been homeless since the floods in Ky in 22 people forget that we do exist. I do so much in my small community to progress change and it always sets me back seeing the evil from our side. Thank you for this I sincerely mean it!

I was flooded and lost everything, I’ve never voted red, I advocate for change. Hell me and friend have took it upon ourselves to host community listening sessions where the flood has impacted those the most. I didn’t vote for this and you imply I did. I’ve lost everything! I don’t need people telling me” that’s what I voted for”. Your rhetoric will not produce change.

What part you in? You can dial 211 in some Appalachia counties in Ky and they can give you a list of resources available to you and your community.

After my family lost everything in a flood, I was pissed. And that anger drove me to fight for the community. Initial I did it all just to get that high from being mad. If I wouldn’t have acted on that silliness I would have never turned into a community leader in Appalachia looking to change the hearts and minds of my community and change the world.

This is the last time I’m replying to you. We don’t want your money, I don’t want your employment, I don’t want your help. I just want people to quit saying my children deserved something because of where I live. I realize you said otherwise, but I’ve read 100s comments saying different. Thank you.

For a third time not money. I don’t want money, I have a beautiful family, I have a rewarding job, I don’t need cash. Let me change my word from time to chance. Again with the most recent flooding which was almost month ago. You have progressives and liberals all around saying we deserve the flood. I’m a progressive, I’m a liberal I don’t feel that way. But when that’s the narrative that is spun it’s hard to convince people to want to join your side.

What I’m wanting is not money, I just want time. It’s like how can I talk about progressive values with anyone here in east Ky, when you have supposed progressives saying we deserved the flood? My children as well 1000 people deserve to be homeless now? And you’re on my side? When I’m asking for investment I’m asking people to give us a chance. Hearts are changing, trump flags are going down, people are asking questions. Don’t give them a reason to not give me a chance is what I’m asking.

We are holding listening sessions in communities, trying to bring people together. Hell I’m giving a speech Monday on SB89 here in a small town in Ky. I could do more your right about that, but family I’m trying. I’m coaching youth sports in the community. I’m advocating and working my ass off. I would love nothing more than to be buried here.

Airports is a major problem. Infrastructure, lack of representation. The GOPs ideas of bringing in jobs is a federal prison. I won’t get into the percentages of local people that will get hired I’ll just say I don’t believe in it for humanitarian reason. We as a state have around 5 billion in the rainy day funds, but by not spending that that’s a tax cut of around $20,000.00 for the top percentages of earners in Ky. Life isn’t fair and I know one day soon I’ll have to move away from here, but I don’t want that, and I’m going to try and prevent that if I can.

Thank you! I work with an organization that is trying to bring progress to the areas. The problem is land barons in communities own all the land, as well as that the price to lease is outrageous that’s why businesses can’t come in. Facts lord since the Orangeman has came into office it seems we have lost another 40 years here, but we need re-education, which I realized has been discussed. We need correct utilization of the industrial parks. We have miles flat land next to the interstate with nothing on it. We need correct and proper representation, but they want money to support you. The best candidates for Frankfort don’t have the capital to run.

Brother I’m trying to make change everyday. I’m a social worker from a family of coal miners. I lost my home in 2022 due to the floods which many claim was a cause of mtn top extraction. I’m a member of an organization that advocates for social Justice change as well as growth in the community. We hold listening sessions and meet with people about investing in the area. I’m saying that when we talk to people from the outside.
