​These policies represents a bold step toward justice, equity, and opportunity for all. By signing this petition, you're not just supporting a cause—you’re helping build a movement that reaches from local neighborhoods to the halls of Congress. 

​

To make this policy a reality, we need to engage decision-makers at every level of government. Here's how you can help: 

 
Federal Level 

• U.S. Senators & Representatives: These officials vote on national legislation and funding. Contact your members of Congress to urge support for this policy. You can find them at congress.gov. 

• The White House: Email the President directly at president@whitehouse.gov to express your support. 

• Federal Agencies: Depending on the policy, agencies like the Department of Justice, Health and Human Services, or HUD may play a role. Public comments and letters matter. 

 
State Level (Alabama) 

• Alabama State Legislature: Your state senator and representative can introduce or support complementary legislation. Use openstates.org or legislature.state.al.us to find your representatives. 

• Governor’s Office: Contact Governor Kay Ivey to advocate for executive support or state-level implementation. 

• State Agencies: Departments like Alabama DHR, ADECA, or the Department of Corrections may be key stakeholders. 

 
Local Level (Alabama Communities) 

• County Commissioners & City Council Members: These officials influence local ordinances and funding. Attend meetings, send emails, and speak during public comment periods. 

• School Boards & Local Boards: If the policy affects education, youth, or public services, these bodies are essential allies. 

• Community Organizations: Partner with local nonprofits, churches, and advocacy groups to amplify your message. 

 
How to Take Action 

• Write to Your Officials: Be specific, polite, and personal. Share how this policy affects your life and community. 

• Circulate the Petition: Share it online and in person. Numbers matter—especially when delivered with media coverage. 

• Follow Up: After signing, email your representatives and encourage others to do the same. Your voice is powerful when it's persistent.
