Our Work: Organizing for Justice and Opportunity.

Building power among people of faith to address systemic racism and improve material conditions for all Alabamians.

What We Do

At Faith in Action Alabama, we are committed to building power among people of faith across the state. Our work is centered on addressing systemic racism and improving the material conditions for all Alabamians, ensuring a more just and equitable future for everyone.

Our Approach

We believe in empowering communities from the ground up, combining two crucial pillars to drive meaningful change:

Leadership Development Program: Faith in Action Alabama strengthens the leadership capacity of its dedicated volunteers. Through comprehensive trainings and skill-building workshops, we equip individuals with the tools and knowledge necessary to effectively advocate for their communities and lead impactful campaigns.

Community Organizing & Campaign Building: Our campaigns are volunteer-led, driven by the voices and needs of those most affected by injustice. We work collaboratively to identify pressing issues, conduct thorough research, and develop and implement campaigns at the local and state levels to promote opportunity for all Alabamians.

The People's Agenda (2026-2030)

The People’s Agenda serves as the guiding document for FIAA’s state legislative work, outlining our long-term vision for a more just Alabama. Our key priorities include:

Increased state investment in economically disenfranchised communities

Advocating for policies that direct resources and opportunities to areas that have historically been overlooked and underserved.

Creating a just state justice system

Working towards reforms that ensure fairness, accountability, and rehabilitation within Alabama’s judicial and carceral systems.

Developing a thriving public school system across zip code lines

Championing policies that provide high-quality education for all students, regardless of their geographic location or socioeconomic status.

How We Make Change

Our process for creating change is systematic and community-driven. It begins with identifying issues directly from the community, followed by thorough research, developing policy proposals, engaging in advocacy with decision-makers, and finally, working towards the successful implementation of those policies for lasting impact.
