2020 Accomplishments
Below is a partial list of our ACCOMPLISHMENTS that we have done this year, despite the setbacks and closures due to Covid-19, and thanks to your prayers and support
:
-
We continued purchasing and distributing more Truth for Youth Bibles to nearby churches.

We had a petition to stop Drag Queen Story-time at the Louisville KY Free Public Library. When the story hour was held against the will of the people, we held a quiet protest and prayed outside of the library.

Because the mayor would not allow our National Day of Prayer Rally at the courthouse, we had the pastors pray on The Rest of the News TV/Radio show, and it was aired on Facebook live.
-
We expanded our prayer efforts starting in July by hosting weekly prayer meetings in Louisville, KY. We meet every Saturday 10 am – 11 am at various venues throughout the Louisville with prayer leaders from all over Jefferson County.
-
We had petition drive to REMOVE Mayor Fischer from office for not keeping us safe! Metro Council made a bi-partisan resolution to investigate the actions of Fischer, and the full Republican caucus asked him to resign. AFA held 2 rallies and press conferences outside Metro Hall. Dr. Simon and volunteer Ruth Ann Shumate-Reed presented our petitions and addressed the council asking for the removal of the mayor. The Louisville Metro Council later approved a resolution that declared "no confidence" in Mayor Greg Fischer over his handling of the death of Breonna Taylor and the subsequent unrest. Unfortunately, the resolution had no teeth in it, and he is still in office.
