Forward Kentucky: Reports from the 'Families First' rallies in Paducah and Jackson
By BERRY CRAIG and GUEST AUTHOR
The Jackson Purchase, Kentucky’s westernmost region, is Trump territory.
Even so, Four Rivers Indivisible, part of the national Indivisible group, regularly organizes protests in Paducah against Trump policies.
About 60 people braved sweltering heat and steamy humidity to show up at the city’s Noble Park for a “Families First” rally, the 18th protest Four Rivers has sponsored this year, according to Leslie McColgin, co-leader of the group.
