Listening is both a value and a process. It is foundational to Alabama Arise’s approach to shaping and advancing policies that matter most to those marginalized by poverty. 

Arise depends on what we hear each year to help guide our work toward a better Alabama. We want to hear from you and others in communities around the state. Arise membership is not required for us to come and listen to your concerns and hopes. 

We listen so that we can work together more strategically to make positive change happen. Watch your email inbox for information on summer listening sessions happening across Alabama.

Please contact an Arise regional organizer to set up a virtual or in-person session in your community this summer! We also are glad to host a workshop on the new Alabama Tax and Budget Handbook in your area.
