ACLU of Alabama Strategic Plan: Vision 2030

Step Aside Project 2025, We Have a Vision for 2030. The ACLU of Alabama is proud to release its first-ever public strategic plan moving towards 2030. This report states who we are, our values, and our intended impact on the state of Alabama.  
 
The ACLU of Alabama’s Vision 2030 is grounded in equity, justice, and representation, three time-tested principles of the Civil Rights Movement. We believe fundamentally in partnering with and listening to the communities we serve, understanding that those who have been impacted by specific issues are the true experts. 
 
We have three core areas that we’ll focus on: Voting Rights, Gender Justice, and Criminal Legal Reform. Across these three issues, we are focusing on clear outcomes: 

For Voting Rights, we want to increase Black voter turnout by 5% in statewide and national elections through the end of the 2026 election cycle. By 2028, we want to see consistent Black voter turnout between 55%-60% in the 2028 General Election. 
 

For Gender Justice, we want to expand Medicaid for the general population and include coverage for midwifery services, out-of-hospital births, and contraception. We want to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates by increasing access to prenatal, natal, and postnatal care through legislation. We also want to restore gender-affirming care and abortion access.  
 

For Criminal Legal Reform, we want to provide direct legal and social services to people seeking parole. We want to ensure that incarcerated people and their loved ones have increased awareness and skills to be successful in parole proceedings and, if granted, while on parole. We want to increase the number of individuals released from Alabama’s overcrowded prisons and remove 33 people from death row who had jury life verdicts. 

Of course, our organization will always defend your First Amendment rights and continue to advocate for you in the courts and at the State House (or the People’s House as we like to call it).  

We encourage you to read our report on how we want to do this work strategically and include our most important partner, YOU. This work is impossible without everyday Alabamians caring about the future of their family, community, and state. We thank you for your continued support and can’t wait to get things done by 2030 and beyond.
