Dear Members,

It is that time of year again!  Your dues are due for your League Membership.  You will receive a letter from us that will include our elected officials’ information called Your Government at Your Fingertips, as well as a new member brochure for you to give to a friend. The mailing will also include a self-addressed envelope, which we hope you will use to send in your dues.  As you may know, when you join the Greater Birmingham League, you are automatically a member of the Alabama State League and the National League.

We need your continued membership and support to work for:

• A commission manager form of government in Jefferson County
• Adequate funding for childhood education including education before 1st grade.
• Adequate funding for our justice system including community based alternatives to incarceration, family court and juvenile justice system
• Safeguards for our waterways and the environment.
• An equitable tax system
• Campaign finance reform, including restrictions on lobbying, more transparency in funding and an end to PAC to PAC transfers
• A constitutional convention to Alabama to allow the citizens to write a new constitution

Thank you!

-- Nancy Ekberg
Membership Chair
