Today’s Action: Take action to help Kentucky flood victims!
Unprecedented flooding has taken at least 16 lives in Eastern Kentucky since Wednesday night, with the death toll predicted to rise significantly. By the end of this tragedy, hundreds of families will have been displaced and their hometown will never be the same. Governor Beshear indicated that most of the survivors could “lose just about everything.” After 300 rescues, there are still more to be made.
For us here at OD Action, this destruction is personal. Kentucky is our home base, it’s an area that is already disenfranchised, exploited, and without proper support from negligent Republican legislators and corporate predators. Our neighbors are without food, water, and shelter. Many of these people have no idea what their home now looks like. With even more potential climate disasters on the way, the people of Eastern Kentucky need help to bounce back from this horrible tragedy as quickly as possible.
Make a donation to Gov. Beshear’s Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund or check out this verified Amazon wish list for flood survivors! You can find even more ways to help here, but however you decide to — it makes all the difference.
Even just sharing the donation links with your friends and family could make a huge impact.
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to stop Ron DeSantis’ attack on the First Amendment, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
