Frankfort --- The Kentucky Fairness Alliance and the Fairness Campaign will co-host Kentuckians Value Fairness, a rally for a fair Kentucky on February 22. The two organizations are mobilizing fair-minded Kentuckians from all over the Commonwealth to advocate for policies that support workplace fairness.

It’s time for Kentucky’s fair-minded majority to demand policies that reflect our values.”
