Alabama Rivers Alliance staff and our lobbyist – along with other environmental partners and our awesome inaugural ALSTARs class – will be following all the bills and talking with legislators throughout the next few months to keep you up to date on the good, the bad and the ugly as it relates to our work defending and protecting Alabama’s 132,000 miles of rivers and streams.
HOW CAN YOU STAY ENGAGED AND HELP DURING THE SESSION?
- Stay tuned in to your emails and social media posts from ARA — and respond to our action alerts as you see them. There is incredible strength in numbers, and our elected officials must hear from you!
- If you already know your legislator, let us know and we can give you talking points about bills we plan to introduce and ones we are monitoring.
- Help us follow the action. If you see any concerning news articles or hear of any bills that you think might impact water or the environment, please email ARA’s Policy Director, Charles Miller, at [email protected]. We’re tracking too, but the more eyes and ears — the better!
- You can also keep up with the session on the Alabama Channel, a tremendous resource from our friends at League of Women Voters featuring searchable recordings of all legislative meetings, including committee meetings.
- Attend ARA’s Lobby Day on Rivers of Alabama Day Tuesday, April 8, 2025 to make our voices heard! Registration opens soon, but go ahead and mark your calendars and request the day off to #DefendRivers with us in Montgomery!
Our collective voice is our greatest strength —
let’s make ripples together!
