SUMMARY:Town Hall Tuesdays - Building on our hope
DESCRIPTION:Listening has been the key to shaping and advancing public policies that matter most to those suffering because of bad policies. We listened to continued demands to untax groceries in Alabama and realized an important victory this year. Together\, we supported the passage of legislation that will reduce the state sales tax on groceries from 4% to 2% as soon as September 2024. \nAlabama Arise depends on what we hear to help guide our work toward our vision of a better Alabama for all. Our online Town Hall Tuesdays will return again this year. These events are a chance for participants to hear issue updates and to share their vision for our 2024 priorities. \nPlease join us this summer to help identify emerging issues and inform our actions. Registration is required for this session. \n\nTown Hall Tuesdays\nBuilding on our hope\nTuesday\, Aug. 8 – 6 p.m.\nRegistration link \n

SUMMARY:Town Hall Tuesdays - Building on our vision
DESCRIPTION:Listening has been the key to shaping and advancing public policies that matter most to those suffering because of bad policies. We listened to continued demands to untax groceries in Alabama and realized an important victory this year. Together\, we supported the passage of legislation that will reduce the state sales tax on groceries from 4% to 2% as soon as September 2024. \nAlabama Arise depends on what we hear to help guide our work toward our vision of a better Alabama for all. Our online Town Hall Tuesdays will return again this year. These events are a chance for participants to hear issue updates and to share their vision for our 2024 priorities. \nPlease join us this summer to help identify emerging issues and inform our actions. Registration is required for this session. \n\nTown Hall Tuesdays\nBuilding on our vision\nTuesday\, July 18 – 6 p.m.\nRegistration link

SUMMARY:Alabama Arise advocacy training with Doctors for America
DESCRIPTION:Arise’s Debbie Smith will be part of an advocacy training presented by Alabama Arise and Doctors for America on May 13. There are options to attend either virtually or in person in Birmingham. (Location information is coming soon.) \nOne in five Americans are covered by Medicaid. The Affordable Care Act expanded the Medicaid program to cover almost all adults with income levels up to 138% of the federal poverty level. But millions of Americans live in states that have not yet expanded Medicaid. As of April 2023\, 40 states and the District of Columbia have adopted Medicaid expansion. Ten states have not expanded Medicaid\, including Alabama. \nDoctors for America believe physicians are the best advocates for putting patients over politics. With the right tools\, physicians can be public health leaders in implementing change in their communities. \nJoin Doctors for America and Alabama Arise for an advocacy training in Birmingham on Saturday\, May 13\, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. \nPlease note this training is open to public health advocates in Alabama only. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. This event is free. \nClick here to register to attend in person. \nClick here to register to attend virtually.
