    ANNUAL REPORT 2019

    We rebranded, too. In November, the organization formerly known as

    Arise Citizens’ Policy Project adopted

    a new logo and a more recognizable

    name: Alabama Arise. (Our sister

    group, formerly known as Alabama

    Arise, is now Alabama Arise Action.)

    We launched a new website. It ’s easier to navigate and easier

    to use on mobile devices. And it

    includes a blog, an events calendar,

    a searchable Bills of Interest

    database and other features to help

    you stay connected with our work.

    We expanded our digital outreach

    in other ways as well, keeping you

    informed with weekly videos and

    email newsletters throughout the

    legislative session.

    We renewed and strengthened our shared dedication to racial justice. With guidance from consultant

    Natilee McGruder, our board and

    staff developed an organizational

    statement on racial equity and

    inclusion in May. We’re committed to

    the ongoing process of ensuring our

    work reflects these principles.

    You continue to amplify our calls for a brighter future. You packed out the State House’s largest room

    for Legislative Day. You provided the

    sense of urgency that lawmakers

    needed to pass a bill creating a

    civil asset forfeiture database late

    in the 2019 session. You sustained

    our efforts to untax groceries and

    expand Medicaid. And you flooded

    federal and state officials with emails

    and calls, demanding that they

    abandon efforts to impose harmful

    new limits on Medicaid, SNAP and

    other programs that help struggling

    Alabamians make ends meet.

    We’re grateful for your advocacy, membership, and support of Arise. And we look forward to continuing to

    build a better Alabama together.
