I run a small grassroots messaging project in Alabama, not for a candidate, but for the community. I try to explain what’s happening in the world (or just in our small corner of it) in ways that feel real and human.

Everything in this post reinforces what I’ve learned while doing this project: people respond to values, to real-world consequences, and to someone willing to talk to them without talking down.

We focus on local politics and how national policies hit home here, especially in rural or working-class communities, and we try to give people the actual language to talk about those issues.

I don’t have a budget or a flashy brand. I just use an old Gmail account, a lot of Canva files, social media accounts on every platform I can think of, and a belief that people deserve to understand what’s being done in their name.

Appreciate the clarity here. It will help sharpen what I’m building.

Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is my rep and voted yes on the SAVE act. Did you tell them that? We are trying to get another dem up here.
