Rep. Marilyn Lands stopped by to give us a legislative update and remind us of something we all need to hear right now: don’t lose hope. Even when the fight feels hard, our voices and our votes still matter. Self-care is part of sustaining the movement — but so is showing up at the ballot box. The Alabama Primary is May 19. Vote like our future depends on it — because it does.

With so much at stake, voting in this upcoming primary and election is more important than ever. Thank you to United Women of Color Huntsville and Alabama Forward for creating this comprehensive Election Guide for the May 19 primary. It includes sample ballots, amendment explanations, and helpful information to make sure you’re ready to cast your vote. Make a plan to vote, bring a friend, and make your voice heard on May19!

Don’t know who to vote for on May 19?? Our election guides are out!!! UWOC mailed out 700 paper guides and has a digital version found here: https://bit.ly/UWOC2026ElectionGuide

It’s not easy to find out who is running for what office and what platform each candidate holds, so we have made things easier for you. There are sample ballots and amendment explanations too!

UPDATE: You can also download this guide and print it out from home. Just click the link and then the download button. 

A big thank you to Alabama Foward for their partnership on this project.
