From Potential to Participation: A North Alabama Voter Engagement Summit

Thousands of registered voters across North Alabama are not participating in our elections. In some precincts, fewer than 15% of registered voters cast a ballot in the 2026 primary election.

We believe the solution is not simply more campaign activity. It is stronger relationships, trusted messengers, consistent engagement, and community leadership.

Join faith leaders, community organizations, neighborhood leaders, advocates, educators, and residents for a conversation about what the data tells us, what barriers exist, and how we can work together to increase civic participation across our communities.

REGISTER HERE: https://actionnetwork.org/events/from-potential-to-participation-a-north-alabama-voter-engagement-summit?source=direct_link&

This event is free and open to anyone in the community.

RSVP here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/thealabama-solutioncommunity-screening-2?source=direct_link&

HBO Original Documentary: THE ALABAMA SOLUTION

In 2019, filmmakers visit an Alabama prison to film a revival meeting. Off camera, incarcerated men whisper a message: terrible things are going on here and being kept secret. This sparks an immersive six-year investigation to discover the reality behind the walls of one of the nation’s deadliest prison systems. Through unprecedented direct access and video shot on contraband cell phones, the filmmakers learn from the men inside about a suspicious and violent death. The story unfolds in real time, revealing it isn’t an isolated incident and that the official version appears far from the truth. What follows is a shocking story of brutality, corruption, and a system in collapse. As the men fight for their own survival, they embark on a campaign of resistance, against all odds.

Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents THE ALABAMA SOLUTION. Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman; co-produced by Alelur “Alex” Duran, Page Marsella, and Beth Shelburne

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE TRAILER

The film has been described by the LA Times as “one of the most shocking, visceral depictions of our carceral state ever put to film.” Indiewire called it “a jaw-dropping prison exposé,” while Variety noted its story “exerts a grip worthy of a thriller.” At Sundance this year, the film played to standing ovations.
