Alabama Arise members have worked for more than 35 years to build a brighter, more inclusive future for our state. And as the Legislature’s 2025 regular session starts today, we’re proud to renew that commitment.
Together, we can turn our shared vision for a better Alabama into a reality. Here are three ways you can help.
(1) Become an Arise member. Numbers matter. The more members we have, the louder our voice for change is at the State House. If you’re not yet an Arise member, visit our website to become one today. If you’re already a member, please ask your friends and neighbors to join us as well!
(2) Talk to your legislators. Watch for and act on our action alerts throughout the session. And contact your lawmakers during our annual Legislative Day on March 20. Save the date, and stay tuned for registration information soon.
(3) Spread the word about our priorities. The more people learn about our movement, the more support we gain. Read more about our 2025 legislative priorities, and watch Arise’s David Stout discuss our goals for the session. Then share this information with your friends and invite them to join us. Together, we can build a better Alabama!
