This is long overdue. Sixty years ago—at height of civil rights movement in Birmingham—white officials plowed thru Red Mountain to create an expressway to facilitate white flight from schools, jobs & downtown economy. Now, City itself can thrive with this federal funding.

Woohoo!!! We just found out that Birmingham will receive $21.6 million to support the Birmingham Urban Trail! I know that this grant will help make our city more walkable, bikable, and livable. Congrats to the City of Birmingham! So proud to help secure this funding! 🙌🏾

If you care about Dobbs, you must care just as deeply about Shelby County which gutted the Voting Rights Act ten years ago this Sunday. You must care about restoring the VRA in order to restore the right to choose, the right to dignity, the right to freedom & to liberty. 3/3

Vacancy on Middle District of AL must be filled ASAP. Its first & only Black judge—Myron Thompson—was appointed by Jimmy Carter & took senior status a decade ago. This historic court—which desegregated Montgomery buses & protected Selma marchers—urgently needs representation.
