This year’s legislative session presents a powerful opportunity to educate and build new relationships with our lawmakers. One quarter of our state legislators are newly elected, and we have seen significant leadership transitions in both chambers of the Legislature. Building relationships with these legislators is critical to future collaboration on our policy priorities. We must seize this moment – and with your help, we will. By supporting Arise today, you’re sending us to the State House to educate our lawmakers and advocate for policies to create a more equitable Alabama. It’s an agenda that was chosen by members like you: - Adequate budgets for human services like education, child care and health care, including expanding Medicaid.
- Tax reform, including untaxing groceries.
- Voting rights, including automatic universal voter registration.
- Criminal justice reform, including the repeal of the Habitual Felony Offender Act.
- Death penalty reform, including requiring juries to be unanimous to impose a death sentence.
- Public transportation to stay connected to work, school, health care and community.
- Payday and title lending reform to protect consumers from getting trapped in debt.
Our goals are broad, but they are achievable with you by our side. Will you fuel this agenda and send a gift to Alabama Arise today? |

Members like you are our strongest force during the session. By giving to Arise today, you will ensure our legislators hear directly from our members and partners across the state. We’ve been preparing the soil to make these conversations more fruitful. Arise hosts advocacy and issue trainings year-round to equip members like you for advocacy. And we will continue to connect you directly with your elected representatives. Throughout the session, Arise members and staff will send emails, make calls, share our stories and meet with our lawmakers. We will have a presence at the State House every day. And in April at our annual Legislative Day, hosted by our 501(c)(4) partner organization Alabama Arise Action, members from across the state will come together in Montgomery to advocate for your shared policy priorities. We need your support to fuel these efforts and build a better Alabama. Will you donate to Arise today? A donation of any amount will get us closer to our goal. |
