The students argue that the University of Alabama’s decision to suspend the magazines is discriminatory and unlawfully censors student voices, violating their rights under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Here's what you missed this week at the Alabama People's House. ✊
61
House Bill 541 has passed out of committee and is headed to the House Floor. HB541 would force voters to register with a political party just to participate in primary elections—pushing people into boxes that don’t reflect how many Alabamians actually show up at the polls. 🧵

📢 This bill deserves to be heard! 📢 We're calling on Alabamians who care about Reproductive Justice and Criminal Legal Reform to contact their State House Representative and demand a vote on HB54, the Women's CARE Act. 🧵

The state’s overcrowded prisons are no place for pregnant Alabamians. Passing this bill would ensure that pregnant women can serve probation until after they give birth, rather than being subjected to the inhumane conditions of Alabama’s correctional facilities during pregnancy.

BREAKING: Governor Ivey has commuted the death sentence of Charles “Sonny” Burton, who was scheduled to be executed Thursday. Burton, a 75-year-old Black man living with rheumatoid arthritis, never killed anyone. We are relieved that he has been granted clemency.

Across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, we remembered what the world saw in Selma: ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the name of freedom. The power that moved a nation then is the same power we carry today. 🧵

The lesson of the Selma Jubilee Bridge Crossing is simple—when the people move, systems change. We walk, we organize, we vote, and we keep crossing every bridge that stands between our communities and justice.

From the Montgomery bus boycotts to the fight for civil liberties today, women like Claudette Colvin, Coretta Scott King, JaTaune Bosby-Gilchrist, Georgia Gilmore, Autherine Lucy Foster, and many more have shown us that women are at the forefront of movements in Alabama.

SB293 would make it a crime to intentionally approach or remain within 25 feet of a first responder after being told to leave if you are perceived as impeding, threatening, or harassing them.
