Join us tonight

Join the NAACP for a Alabama-focused briefing on the rapid expansion of data centers and what it means for our communities, environment, and local economies. As data infrastructure continues to grow across the state, frontline communities are increasingly facing the impacts—from increased energy and water demands to land use concerns and lack of transparency in development processes.

This session will highlight the NAACP’s 2026 Recommendations for Protecting Frontline Communities and share tools from the Stop Dirty Data Centers campaign. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how data center projects are approved, what’s at stake for Alabama communities, and how advocates can take action to ensure responsible, equitable development.

Whether you’re a local leader, organizer, or concerned resident, this briefing will equip you with the knowledge and resources needed to engage decision-makers and protect your community.

There is still time to sign the letter!

Faith in Action Alabama has launched a statewide campaign to eliminate Alabama’s three Confederate holidays: Jefferson Davis Day, Robert E. Lee Day, and Confederate Memorial Day.

The next step in the campaign is to secure 1,000 signatures on a letter to be delivered to state leadership on June 18th. The goal is simple: show how many people across Alabama are ready for change.

By signing, you are adding your name as a public signatory and making your position clear.

This effort is also connected to the People’s Agenda Campaign, which focuses on:
• Thriving public school systems
• Investment in low- and moderate-income communities
• A just state justice system

Today in Government Plaza, the Mobile County NAACP joined community members, survivors, faith leaders, and local officials to mark National Gun Violence Awareness Day with our “Project Wear Orange” press conference. 🧡

We turned the heart of downtown Mobile orange to honor the lives stolen by gun violence, stand with survivors, and demand a safer future for our families and neighborhoods.

Every day, more than 125 Americans are killed with guns and hundreds more are wounded or left to carry the trauma. Behind every number is a name, a story, and a loved one whose life will never be the same—and we refuse to accept this as normal.

We extend our deepest thanks to everyone who helped make today possible—those who planned, prayed, promoted, and showed up both in person and from afar. Special appreciation to Mobile City Councilors Samantha Ingram and Cory Penn along with speakers Ms. Anahri Williams, Dr. Terri Perryman, Mr. Alvin Alabama Lovett, Mr. Joshua Jones, Mr. Vaughn Davis, and all attendees for standing with us and lifting up the call for responsible gun laws, community investment, and real solutions that save lives.

Wear Orange began as a tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, a 15‑year‑old Chicago girl whose life was cut short by gun violence in 2013, when her friends chose orange—the color hunters wear to protect one another—as a symbol of safety and solidarity. What started as an act of grief has grown into a nationwide movement, and today Mobile made it clear: we will be vigilant, outspoken, and united in the fight to end gun violence.

Here’s how you can keep the momentum going:
1. Keep wearing orange this weekend and start conversations about safety and responsibility.
Share photos, stories, and facts using and to amplify the message.
2. Support survivors and families by checking in, listening, and connecting them with counseling, support groups, and faith‑based care.
3. Learn about and support community violence intervention efforts, youth programs, and policies that keep guns out of dangerous hands.

WEAR ORANGE TODAY! Join us for a gathering at Government Plaza at 10:30am!

Good morning, everyone. Gun violence continues to impact families, neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship. Behind every statistic is a son, daughter, mother, father, friend, or neighbor whose life has been forever changed. Wear Orange Day reminds us that we all have a role to play in preventing violence and protecting the lives of those we love.

We invite you to stand with us by wearing orange today, June 5th, as a visible symbol of hope, unity, and commitment to ending gun violence. Please join us for a press briefing at Government Plaza at 10:30 a.m. as we rally the community to come together to stop gun violence. Please share this information with others. If you cannot join in person, wear orange in your workplace, school, church, or community. Your participation helps raise awareness and strengthen our collective voice.

"Lastly, and again, I invite everyone to join us; this issue affects all of us. Wear Orange is an opportunity to stand together, honor lives impacted by gun violence, support survivors, and commit ourselves to building safer communities. One voice can make a difference, but an entire community standing together can create lasting change."
