Update #3, plus this week’s story list

Good evening! Over the past two weeks, I’ve been listing out some new features on the site. This week's new feature is transcripts of podcasts, for those of you who would rather read than listen. Check it out below!
    And, I’m excited to announce that we have our first sponsor! Once we nail down exactly what message(s) this sponsor wants to share, you’ll start seeing them in our newsletters. Do YOU know of an organization that would want to support the work? Tell them about becoming a ForwardKY sponsor!
    Finally, as we head toward the new year, you will be seeing more encouragement to sign up for a Partner membership so you can keep up with the General Assembly. If you are not a member at the Partner level, consider moving up to that level.
    And as always, thanks for being a member of Forward Kentucky!

Update #3 – Podcast transcripts

I have learned over the years that many of our members prefer reading over listening to podcasts or watching videos. So, if you are in the group, you can now get in on all the great interviews and commentary in our media content, by scrolling under the embedded media and reading the transcript!

Note, though, that the transcripts are only for members at the Patron ($5) and Partner ($9) levels. So, if you are a Friend (free) member, consider upgrading to the Patron level for both the transcripts and all the perks at that level.

And finally, if you want to read the transcripts, be sure you are logged in. Otherwise you’ll get the “this is for paying members only” message.

Update #2 – The ForwardKY Store

Last week, I shared about our new ForwardKY Store. Right now, we only have bumper stickers, but we’ll be adding more merch soon. Go buy yourself one of our stickers (I’m partial to the ones that say “Forward Kentucky” <g>)!

Update #1 – Sponsorships

We are now recruiting sponsors for our newsletters, podcasts, and videos. The slots are really inexpensive (as in, cheap!), but will get your message(s) in front of some of the most engaged activists in the state. Become a sponsor today!
