HB1 is moving forward.

Rep. England raised concerns about taxpayer costs, court compliance, and misleading narratives around the case before the House advanced the bill.

Lawmakers reconvene tomorrow at 9 AM.

 📣 Contact your lawmaker and urge them to vote NO on HB1.

What problem does requiring English-only driver’s tests actually solve?

Rep. Tashina Morris says it solves none. HB 88 creates barriers for non-English speakers, not safer roads.

📞 Call your rep & tell them NO on HB 88.

We are closed right now. This pause is about regrouping and preparing for what this moment demands. As 2026 approaches and state legislators return to session across the South, we are resting, reflecting, and sharpening our analysis to return ready. Liberation requires intention.

Across Alabama, there's a growing push to erase, rewrite, and politicize our history. 📌 SB5 blocked – Archives stay independent 📌 HB139 failed – No protections from hair-based discrimination Stay loud. Stay organized. #ALPolitics #PowerInCollective #CivilRights #PeoplePower

What does it mean to be a narrative strategist in the South? It means making power plain. Making systems visible. It means using story as a way to organize the people and reimagine the future.
