Here’s what young dems at our high schools are up to - they’re working to help enslaved child soldiers in Uganda by being abducted themselves. 3 pm Saturday, April 25th at 13th St. & University Blvd.
They’ll move to a camp and write letters to legislators urging them to do something. They won’t leave until someone with influence makes a statement about releasing child soldiers. This is democracy in action.

Alabama has the 5th highest gun death rate & the 3rd highest rate of gun homicide. We have a President who supports stronger gun laws. Whether it's finding supporters of common sense gun laws or making a visit to your representative's office, we need you. It won't take much time to let your legislators know you support background checks on gun sales. The Brady Campaign fights for sensible gun laws to protect you.
