LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Lexington Faith Leaders called for commitments to change on gun violence, school suspensions, and affordable housing at an event held in the parking lot of Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary Church on Tuesday.
Hundreds of cars filed into the parking lot and listened to the event on their radios. Even more tuned in via Zoom, according to event organizers.
This was the annual Nehemiah Action event held by Building a United Interfaith Lexington through Direct-action or B.U.I.L.D. The group represents 26 congregations of different faiths in Lexington.
