Our struggles are tied– so our advocacy must be too.

A growing group of community members across Alabama are not limiting their advocacy to a single issue. The same people who show up for immigrant rights are also showing up for criminal legal reform, for voting rights, for gender justice. They are recognizing that our struggles are connected, and that real change happens when we stand together.
