Political Action

In spite of a hostile legal environment and state legislature, campus workers are building a powerful movement—both on campuses across the state and in Frankfort .

In the recent legislative session, when the Kentucky State Senate Education Committee heard House Bill 4 (the anti-DEI Bill) and House Bill 424 (the anti-tenure bill), United Campus Workers led the opposition. We worked side by side with the Senate Minority Leader in an attempt to stop the bills from becoming law. Campus workers showed up to testify in Frankfort again and again, putting the Republican supermajority on the defensive over two of its flagship pieces of legislation.
