Kentucky voters have the unique opportunity to reject a proposal that’s more than unnecessary — it’s divisive and potentially harmful to our communities. Amendment 1, which claims to “protect” Kentucky elections by banning noncitizen voting, addresses a problem that simply does not exist. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Kentucky, with clear penalties for violations and effective enforcement mechanisms in place.

Earlier this week as I was browsing LinkedIn, I came across a great story from Harvard Business Review on making joy a priority at work. Joy is an intrinsic human desire that connects people more powerfully than almost any other experience. When employees experience joy at work, they are more engaged, motivated, and productive.
