Kabby Akers, who has been a dedicated parishioner since 1980, is deeply involved in the Justice Ministry at Mary Queen and plays a pivotal role in BUILD (Building a United Interfaith Lexington through Direct-Action).
In this episode, Kabby takes us through the impactful work of BUILD, an organization made up of 26 diverse congregations working together to tackle community issues by holding public officials accountable. She explains the structured process of BUILD, which starts with house meetings to gather concerns from the community and culminates in the powerful Nehemiah Action, where public officials are called to respond to proposed solutions in front of a gathering of over 1,000 community members.
From elder care and affordable housing to microtransit solutions, Kabby shares inspiring stories of grassroots change and the importance of community involvement. If you're curious about how you can make a difference or want to learn more about the transformative power of justice ministry, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we delve into the heart of community action and discover how BUILD is making Lexington a better place for everyone.
Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us.
