WHAT: The Louisville Democratic Party is hosting “Marching to Mitch”, gathering Kentuckians who are alarmed about Trump and Musk’s cutting of essential programs and services, their refusal to obey court orders, and the illegality of Musk's "DOGE". The march will begin at Louisville Democratic Party’s headquarters with participants marching with signs down 6th street (on sidewalks) to the Federal Building, where they will queue up to enter Senator McConnell’s office to speak to his staffers about their concerns. As the office only allows entry of 2 people at a time, the line is expected to extend along Broadway.
WHO: Speakers- Louisville residents affected by cuts in proposed services (Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Affairs services and more) or impacted by federal job cuts will be speaking.
WHEN: Friday February 28th
- 12:30pm: Gather at Louisville Democratic Headquarters.
- 1:00pm: March begins.
- 1:15pm: Line up on Broadway in front of Mitch McConnell’s office.
WHERE: Louisville Democratic Party Headquarters (831 S 6th Street) and Federal Building, Mitch McConnell’s Office (601 W Broadway).
WHY: Kentucky would be affected by cuts in several ways, including but not limited to: over a million Kentuckians losing Medicaid coverage; approximately 600,000 children losing access to free school meals; public schools devastated by the closure of the Department of Education subsequent loss of funding; federal job cuts that could impact a large percentage of 23,000 federal workers in KY, leading to catastrophic outcomes for veterans, patients, students, and every citizen of Kentucky.
