Democracy Under Attack

Attacks on democracy are not new to Alabama. Still, there has been an uptick in legislation including making voting less accessible, drawing district lines that violate the Voting Rights Act, passing the country’s most stringent abortion ban, allocating billions of dollars for new prisons without addressing prison reform and passing discriminatory bills against transgender children.

We’re a nonprofit and nonpartisan grassroots communications and messaging hub working to build civic awareness and community power in Alabama and across the South.

Your support helps us revolutionize civic engagement and build a stronger, more inclusive South.

Democracy Under Attack is an Alabama Values’ collaborative initiative with Groundwork Project, and Southern Leadership for Voter Engagement to amplify the collective attacks on Democracy and connect issues to people’s front door. The campaign will use hybrid content strategies in the form of visual storytelling, in-person and virtual events, public briefings, training/workshops to educate, engage, and mobilize communities. Our goal is to connect voting rights, fair maps, and adequate representation to social issues such as healthcare, criminal justice, reproductive justice, gender equality, and racial equality.
