Diverse membership is our power


As an Alabama Arise member, you use your power to help create a more equitable Alabama. Every year at our Annual Meeting, our members choose our legislative priorities and fuel our advocacy efforts.

Because you are so important to our work, we want you to know who your fellow members are. We have more than 1,700 members across the state in more than three-quarters of Alabama counties. And we have set goals to diversify our membership to be more reflective of Alabama’s demographics and the concerns of folks living paycheck to paycheck. 

We’re making strong progress on those goals. Through our membership survey (which you can fill out at alarise.org/membership-survey), we have learned 27% of our members are people with low incomes, 6% are people under age 30 and 32% are people of color.

If you’re ready to deepen your commitment, I want to invite you to join a group of our members who sustain our work year-round: our recurring donors. More than 200 people give monthly to Arise because they know it’s important for us to have the flexibility needed to focus year-round on the priorities that members like you choose.

Will you join this steadfast group? Our most common monthly gift is $10! Visit alarise.org/donate to set up a recurring gift online. Thank you for being a member!
