PROMOTE PROGRESSIVE ISSUES
We’re bright blue dots in a red state fighting for freedom and justice for ALL in our community.
We unapologetically support progressive ideals and work tirelessly to elect Democratic candidates.
SUPPORT CANDIDATES
Some of our most visible work has always been around election campaigns.We support Democratic state representative and senate candidates, as well as candidates for all county offices.
WE SUPPORT COMMUNITIES
In times of crisis, the County Party steps up. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve supported the West Alabama Food Bank, the Bottoms Up Diaper Bank, and other local groups.
