Alabama Arise is our featured ministry for the month of September. Arise is a coalition of groups across the state advocating for low-income people at the state legislature. Rev. Angie was a co-founder of Arise in the late 80’s, and since then, Arise has won victories on tax fairness and tenant-landlord rights.

Some issues that Arise has been working on this year include:

-protecting and expanding Medicaid to provide healthcare for all low-income Alabamians

-funding for affordable housing, education and public transit

-protecting borrowers from predatory payday and title loans

As a member group, Beloved can send up to 6 voting representatives to the Arise annual meeting in Montgomery to help decide on our issues and strategy for the coming year.

The meeting will be held Saturday, September 12th, from 10 am – 3 pm at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Montgomery.
