All politics is local. It’s important that we remember what’s on the ballot in 2024 in Alabama and beyond this election cycle. When we’re equipped with information, we garner the power of our collective voice.

Drag is performance. Drag is art. Drag is self-expression. Drag is fun. Drag is empowering.
What drag is not? A crime.

If this leaked decision is accurate, the Supreme Court failed to hold once and for all that every pregnant person has the basic right to emergency abortion care.
This case will proceed and the health and lives of pregnant people across the country will continue to be at risk.
Breaking News: An opinion posted briefly on the Supreme Court website indicated it is poised to allow emergency abortions in Idaho for now, Bloomberg News reported. nyti.ms/4eGvWUM

#HappeningNow : I’m in downtown Montgomery where the “Smart Justice Summit” just got underway.
It’s part of a program where Alabamians develop projects over 8 months addressing the state’s criminal justice system. Today they share those projects.

SB129 is a public defunding of student groups, associations, programs, and state and municipal offices. Like so many other bills we continue to see that target our communities, it will have longstanding and immediate consequences.
A new Alabama law banning diversity, equity and inclusion offices, programming and training in public colleges and other state agencies has been signed by Gov. Kay Ivey and will go into effect this fall.
But what does that mean? Read what the law says ➡️ al.com/news/2024/03/alabama-…
ALT Gov. Kay Ivey signed SB129, known as the “divisive concepts” bill, into law Wednesday. The law will become effective Oct. 1, 2024. “My Administration has and will continue to value Alabama’s rich diversity, however, I refuse to allow a few bad actors on college campuses – or wherever else for that matter – to go under the acronym of DEI, using taxpayer funds, to push their liberal political movement counter to what the majority of Alabamians believe,” Ivey said in a statement Wednesday.

Kenneth Smith was executed yesterday. A jury voted 11-1 for life, but the sentencing judge imposed the death penalty anyway.
Mr. Smith was executed by nitrogen gas — an untested method that UN experts warned could amount to torture in violation of human rights treaties.

The world is watching as AL moves forward with it's state-sanctioned torture of Kenneth Smith.
UN experts say the execution of Smith by nitrogen hypoxia is likely to constitute torture, violating international human rights treaties ratified by the U.S.

No one from ADOC showed at the legislative prison oversight meeting. The ONE meeting a year with public input where families of people incarcerated in Alabama prisons told horrific experiences of abuse, rape, murder & cruelty. Their no show tells us everything we need to know.

The @ACLUAlabama has released its third annual “Statehouse to Prison Pipeline Report,” which says the Legislature focuses too much on criminal punishment and not enough on issues that could help families prosper.

ACLU of Alabama retweeted
Despite DOJ lawsuit, Alabama legislature gives fuel to prison pipeline. 16% of bills passed this year could increase prison overcrowding. They know the ongoing harm happening inside ADOC and yet, this.
