Good morning, y'all. We've gotten a lot of new followers over the past few weeks, so let us tell you about what we do and how you can support our ongoing coverage of #Louisvilleprotest, #BreonnaTaylor, #DavidMcAtee and #coronavirus in our region. 1/

We are a public radio, non-profit newsroom. Our reporters and editors have been on the ground reporting on the demonstrations for social justice in Louisville. They're live-tweeting and taking photos and video so you can see what is happening in our city. 2/

And they've come back and done deeper dives to provide context to this moment in history, like this story from @RyanVanVelzer about the history and effects of the crowd dispersal weapons that LMPD has used on demonstrators: wfpl.org/the-weapons-us… 3/

It's not just Louisville; we're across the river in Indiana covering protests there. wfpl.org/new-albany-ind… (story by @JBernardBoyle) 4/

We've continued to cover the upcoming Kentucky primary election and put together this voter guide to help you learn more about the candidates and how to vote during the coronavirus outbreak: wfpl.org/hey-kentucky-v… 5/

We're documenting local news that reflects national movements, like the removal of Confederate monuments here in Kentucky that @StephRWolf is following: wfpl.org/photos-confede… 6/

We're investigating the impacts that the coronavirus has had on the state, such as this story about a looming eviction crisis by @jacobhryan: kycir.org/2020/06/12/as-… 7/

... and the challenges that COVID-19 pose to protesters (story by @eklib and @RyanVanVelzer): kycir.org/2020/06/05/pan… 8/
