Dear John, I am so excited to share our 2022 annual report with you! You can find it here on our website. Your support helped Alabama Arise grow our policy analysis, statewide organizing and citizen advocacy in 2022. I know our board, staff and membership join me in expressing gratitude for your continued partnership. Your advocacy with Arise is helping to build the Alabama we hope to see: one that protects dignity, equity and justice for all of us. - Together, we extended postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to one year after birth. This improvement will save lives and improve post-birth maternal and infant health outcomes.
- We advanced a people-focused agenda related to the equitable use of COVID-19 relief funds for public goods, including health care, housing and other work supports. This advocacy resulted in strong investments in Arise budget priorities.
- We worked with state agencies and communities across the state to ensure that child nutrition and Pandemic EBT benefits were widely accessible.
- We spoke out alongside workers, caregivers and our most marginalized neighbors to help ensure their needs were prioritized in policymaking.
I hope you will take a moment to read our report and to reflect on our year and the amazing impact YOU made to help achieve a better Alabama for all. With gratitude, Robyn Hyden, Executive Director |
