Members to chart course Sept. 8

7 proposals vie for 5 slots on our 2019 agenda

We expect another lively, uplifting day when Arise members gather to pick our 2019 issue priorities at our annual meeting Sept. 8 in Montgomery. (See details and voting rules at right.) Two new proposals will compete with five current priorities for the five available slots on Arise’s issue roster next year. Two other issues are permanent priorities: tax reform and adequate state budgets.

Please RSVP by Saturday, Sept. 1, by visiting arisecitizens.org or calling us at 334-832-9060. This month’s newsletter is a resource to help you choose our 2019 issue priorities next month. Inside, you’ll find proponents’ summaries of their new proposals, as well as our policy staff’s overviews of the current issue priorities. We hope to see everyone Sept. 8 as you pick Arise’s 2019 agenda and renew our shared commitment to building a better Alabama for all.
