Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- Kentuckians for the Commonwealth (KFTC) was originally founded in 1981 by a group of citizens that were taken aback at the lack of taxes on companies who owned valuable coal property in Kentucky as presented by the Appalachian Land Ownership Study. Originally known as the Kentucky Fair Tax Coalition, their goal was to reform Kentucky tax and property laws, specifically those concerning coal producing properties owned by out of state companies and individuals. Over the course of 1980s, KFTC worked to create chapters in counties across the commonwealth of Kentucky to lobby for protections concerning mining, drinking water, and waste incinerators as well as the education of citizens on navigating the political sphere. In 1987 the Kentucky Fair Tax Coalition changed their name to Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, adding economic justice, economic development, and the effect of money on politics and politicians. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, KFTC expanded chapters to reach the western portion of Kentucky and focused more on welfare and economic justice reforms alongside ensuring access to education for Kentucky's youth. Significant actions include testifying and fighting against mountaintop removal actions by coal mining companies, enforcement of mining and water protection laws, tax reform, and voter empowerment/Restoration of Voting Rights Campaign.
- Scope and Content
- The Kentuckians for the Commonwealth records (dated 1969-2015, undated; 49.98 cubic feet; 48 record storage cartons, 5 document storage boxes, 5 flat boxes, 5 items, 1 oversized folder) comprises operating records, newsletters, publications, videotapes, audio cassettes, scrapbooks, subject files, and posters that document the activities and operation of the grassroots community organization Kentuckians for the Commonwealth (KFTC).

There are also documents detailing the work of KFTC with the Campaign for Human Development and the Kentucky Economic Justice Alliance and the reciprocal relationship of the organizations in supporting proposed projects and assisting the residents of Kentucky in the late 1980s to the late 2000s.
