i. Healthcare
Access to Healthcare
Alabama remains one of the few states without Medicaid expansion. It ranks among the lowest in the nation for life expectancy and among the highest for maternal mortality — a crisis that disproportionately affects Black mothers.
- Build on the legacy of the Affordable Care Act — annual checkups and rural accessibility
- Expand healthcare networks and increase funding for community health centers
- Address maternal-health disparities impacting Black mothers and infants
- Protect reproductive rights and patient decision-making
- Build rural healthcare networks through grants leveraging community colleges and existing providers
ii. Education
Investing in Education
Alabama underperforms nationally in reading and math — particularly for Black and Latino students. Our teachers are among the lowest-paid in the country, often without paid parental leave.
- Increase pay for Alabama teachers
- Advocate for federal funding to modernize our schools
- Close the achievement gap
- Increase access to mental-health professionals and counselors
iii. Economy
Jobs, Opportunity & the Future Economy
