Arise’s 2026 priorities highlight our roadmap for change in Alabama


Nearly 600 members voted to affirm Alabama Arise’s 2026 legislative priorities after this fall’s Annual Meeting. In order, our priorities for the next four years will be:

  • Health equity
  • Hunger relief
  • Adequate state budgets
  • Inclusive democracy
  • Justice reform
  • Tax reform
  • Worker power

Arise adopted a new approach to member voting on legislative priorities for 2026, helping us better commit to multiyear advocacy on the issues that matter most to our members. This approach better reflects the depth and breadth of Arise’s work.
