Think Big Alabama empowers residents to make change they want to see

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) -A new campaign launched encouraging you to “think big” about the change you’d like to see in your community. It’s called “Think Big Alabama: Empowering Voices for Change”.

The campaign is for everyone who has ideas about improving the communities where they live, work, and play. It’s specifically designed to empower those in underserved or under-represented communities.

The program will train its participants to advocate for themselves, their neighbors, and the change they want to see.

20 people around the state are learning media, public policy, and grassroots organizing skills.

The program will then take the findings from the Think Big learning community and turn them into actionable steps for advocacy and change.

This is a partnership between two non-profits: Alabama Arise and Alabama Values. Learn more about Thing Big Alabama here.
