Operating at 1227 Logan Street on Wednesdays 5-7pm and Saturdays 11am-3pm, the Louisville Tool Library has been building community, knowledge, and resilience around repair and maintenance since 2022.

Operating similarly to a traditional book-filled library, members are able to borrow a wide variety of household items on a 7 day lending cycle. Annual membership works on a sliding scale donation and your contributions - tools or otherwise - are all tax deductible. Tune in to hear about the new classroom they are building to support their workshops, which are funded by a Metro Solid Waste grant that has enabled the Tool Library to start paying its instructors and supplying materials for the classes they offer. Upcoming workshops include: 1. Meshtastic is an off grid text messaging platform that uses nodes (Small devices) to send messages. No wifi, no internet. How to Get Started - Sat, October 3, 11:30am - 1:30pm Node Flashing and Setup - Sat, October 3, 1:30pm - 2:30pm 2. Repair Fair! Sat, November 14, 1:00pm - 4:00pm Cyril Allgeier Community Center, 4101 Cadillac Ct. Is there a fallen hem in your favorite shirt? Did your blender suddenly stop working? Are your scissors too dull to cut cleanly anymore? Don’t send it to the landfill! Bring these items and more to the Repair Fair, where volunteer repair coaches will share their skills and help teach you how repair your item for free. Repairing and reusing items helps save money, reduce waste, and keep usable materials out of the landfill! https://louisvilleky.gov/government/public-works/repair-fair.

  Access Hour | Allison Leake & Graham Slaby | Get On The Bus Campaign | 9-23-26

  Sep 25, 202657 min

  This week on the Access Hour, your host Bob Cline is in conversation with Allison Leake & Graham Slaby, Communication Coordinator, with the Get On The Bus Campaign organized by the Louisville chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Just in time for the Week Without Driving (Oct. 1-8), we bring you a vital conversation about the people's demand for improved transit in Louisville. Simply put, Louisville Metro Council does not prioritize public transportation. The current funding model for the Transit Authority of River City (TARC) was implemented in 1974 and has not changed since. As it is currently funded, TARC is unable to meet the public transit needs of all Louisville Metro residents. In spring 2024, this situation became even more dire. TARC reached its breaking point, announcing a $30-million-dollar budget shortfall which forced them to make drastic service cuts. Around the same time, TARC launched the long-awaited TARC 2025 system re-design, introducing three plan options, one of which would increase service and grow ridership, currently known as the “growth” option. In order to ensure the best outcome of the TARC 2025 system re-design—a public transit system that serves the needs of all Louisville Metro residents—Louisville Metro Council must act and properly fund the most robust option of TARC 2025. TARC is doing their job, Louisville Metro Council needs to do theirs. The GOTB Campaign demands that the TARC Board and Louisville Metro Council work together in accordance with the 1974 resolution to put a referendum on the ballot to increase the occupational tax from 0.2% to 0.6% (from $2 to $6 per $1000 earned) to fully fund the TARC 2025 Growth option, as well as paratransit. The NEXT CAMPAIGN MEETING is on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 6:30pm at the Kling Center, 219 W. Ormsby Ave. Learn more and get involved at https://www.dsalouisville.org/current-campaigns/get-on-the-bus The Access Hour airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Wednesday at 2pm and repeats Thursdays at 11am and Fridays at 1pm. Find us at https://forwardradio.org If you’ve got something you’d like to share on community radio through the Access Hour, whether it’s a recording you made or a show you’d like to do on a particular topic, community, artistic creation, or program that is under-represented in Louisville’s media landscape, just go to https://forwardradio.org, click on Participate and pitch us your idea.

  This week on Truth to Power, we bring you highlights from the first hour of our special live broadcast from the 2026 Louisville Veg Fest, held on Saturday, September 12th at the Mellwood Art Center. Forward Radio was a proud media sponsor of Kentucky’s premier celebration of all things vegan, featuring over 19,000 sq ft of indoor space filled with over 60 vendors and additional food trucks bringing the fun outside, too! Forward Radio hosted a booth to share how you can turn all that plant-power into community radio! The day featured live music, performances, craft beer, cocktails, a plant-based marketplace, and inspiring speakers. Today we bring you the first speaker, Activist, Athlete, Creator & Author, Dominick Thompson. We were incredibly grateful to welcome @domzthompson back to Louisville VegFest! After joining us last year and quickly becoming a VegFest fan favorite, we couldn’t have been happier to have him return to the stage with a brand-new talk: “Beyond the Walls: Masculinity, Compassion, and Becoming Human.” Dominick is an Ironman triathlete, social entrepreneur, author, and animal rights activist whose story and work have inspired hundreds of thousands of people around the world. After choosing vegetarianism while incarcerated 25 years ago, Dom went on to become a leader in the No-Meat Athlete movement and build a life centered around compassion, wellness, and advocacy. He is the creator of Eat What Elephants Eat, his wellness brand and cookbook, and the real-life inspiration behind the upcoming film Land of Wolves. Learn more at https://vegkentucky.org/vegfest On Truth to Power each week, we gather people from around the community to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city!
