It's Not Just About Policy, It's About People: AVRC Advocacy Day Recap

What does it look like when community shows up to learn, engage, and be present in the democratic process? This recap highlights moments from the Alabama Voting Rights Coalition (AVRC) Advocacy Day at the Alabama Statehouse, where community members, organizations, and partners gathered to better understand what’s happening at the state and national levels and how it connects to their everyday lives. Across the country and here in Alabama, there are ongoing conversations and decisions that shape how people participate in our democracy. Advocacy Day created space for people to hear directly from leaders working in legal, policy, and community spaces, and to connect those issues to what’s happening in their own communities. This was an opportunity to be informed, ask questions, and engage with the process, because understanding how these systems work is a critical part of participation. Because this is the State House. And it belongs to the people.
