After much reflection, I've decided to step back from this platform. While X connects many, it also fuels polarization & misinformation, impacting communities like #Appalachia, which deserve the truth. I'm eager to work toward a more informed, equitable America in other spaces.

@JLNeyhart For now, LinkedIn & Facebook. But mostly good old-fashioned in-person and direct communications.

Who is Appalachian? Where is #Appalachia? Is there an Appalachian vote? What role does Appalachia play in politics? All questions in this important piece. The region is not the "stand-in" for "white working-class voters" many think it to be. courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…

Although @JDVance1 wasn't born or educated in #Appalachia, his book's title frames a narrative folks often associate. Our region is not monolithic. As we see a renewed spotlight with his #VP pick, the national discourse should reflect our diversity, complexity, & strength.

Please stop sharing the @johnmacarthur video. I speak as someone with actual experience both theologically & helping Veterans navigate PTSD, some watching may attempt suicide. Seeing an actual licensed mental health professional will be a Grace-filled gift to you.

@CNN would have you believe it’s about a name. It’s not. KY has very real grassroots organizing we didn’t have before. @AndyBeshearKY gained people’s trust, through honesty, disaster response, etc. Cameron threatened our healthcare & prevented justice for #BreonnaTaylor.
Appalachians for Appalachia@Appalatchuh

We ran the biggest c(3) direct voter contact campaign in Kentucky this year. We directly contacted over 40,000 young (18-40), rural voters in a campaign across ALL 40 Appalachian counties in Eastern Kentucky encouraging them to vote!

You can mark 2023 down as the year organized labor took its power back.
