Huntsville’s District 5 is big. It’s diverse. And it needs someone who will actively respond to and represent its people. That’s why we support John Meredith for Huntsville City Council in the runoff for District 5 council seat.
He needs canvassers, phone bankers, and sign-holders. But most importantly, he needs voters.
So go like and follow his page. Do what you can to help. And then *show up to the polls Oct. 6*.

Thank you for standing with us. You helped us force those in power to pay attention. You reminded those entrenched in city politics that they cannot hold that power without opposition. We did that without big donors, without corporate backing. Every move we made was truly authentic - you helped us accomplish that.

22% of Huntsville thought Tommy Battle was the wrong man for the job. That is not a pass.

In a system that’s designed to make it difficult for the marginalized and underserved to vote even in normal times, that is not permission to maintain the systemically racist status quo.

In the middle of a pandemic, when people are rightly hesitant about voting in-person, when vulnerable people’s voices are muffled, that is not a pass to ignore those without health insurance or access to care.

In an election awash in special interest money, that is not permission for the mayor to privatize the workings of our schools.

We will absolutely be here to remind city hall of this.

With your help, we have laid the foundation for change. It’s the first stepping stone in creating a better path for Huntsville’s future - one that is more equitable and fair.

“On the 25th I asked for your vote, but on the 26th I ask we keep marching in the street for the changes we need,” Andy said today. “This wasn't a campaign for Andy. This was a campaign for Huntsville. As long as I have any strength in me I will not abandon this city.”

This campaign made itself a tool for change. You've helped us sharpen it to do the work even better. We’ll get some sleep, eat some real food, and then get back to work. Making change takes strong and consistent effort, but we know the goal of seeing our neighbors treated fairly is worth that work. We hope you’ll be there to work with us, side by side.

“It was an honor,” Andy said. “I have learned so much and I am energized to do more. No stopping now. We have a world to win.”

Andy's thoughts for the day:

"We are a village in a forest. That forest is full of monsters who have always been there, but right now they are emboldened by the current political landscape. In a time when it was most certainly the most dire for working people, our campaign rose to the occasion. We have brought together a coalition of progressive organizations and individuals who are current and future leaders. They are the life and blood of what we are trying to do and I am blessed to be part of their mission.

If we are to fight these monsters, the forces of oppression in racism, sexism, homophobia and all other types of hate, we cannot do it on signs and slogans alone. We cannot do it simply by protest. We need a conscious and organized population. The movement was always in Huntsville. Let's be the ones who wake it up.
Vote for Andy for the People on Tuesday, because it isn't me you're putting in City Hall. It's us."

Show up for the movement on Tuesday. Grab your mask and ID, and we'll see you at the polls!

"The main goal [of the campaign is] for us to bring Huntsville together, to put together a movement of different organizations for us to be able to bring change to this city. And I can safely say now that we have accomplished that... This city can be for everybody and not just the select few...

Good early morning! We are so please to have yet another endorsement from an important activist group like the Sunrise Movement.

Sunrise North Alabama believes in a future which is just, equitable, and environmentally conscious. We believe in local action for effective change which is why we have been on the frontlines fighting for climate change policies and sustainable development goals for the city of Huntsville. Given Andy's bold vision and experience with environmental campaigning, we see him as a great candidate to work towards creating a Huntsville that holds promise for future generations to come.

Don't forget to vote Andy Woloszyn for mayor on TUESDAY, August 25!

Speaking as a representative for the local Green Party, I am happy to endorse Andy Woloszyn for mayor of Huntsville because every board of his platform speaks to core values of the GP (gp.org/platform). His ideas around criminal justice reform and decriminalizing ma*****na match up with our ideals of Social Justice; Andy’s support for membership in and action with the U.S. Climate Alliance support our Ecology and Sustainability values; his grassroots financing points to Direct Democracy; the call for sanctuary city status and municipal broadband Internet help to Decentralize and make our society Non-Hierarchical; and his demand for $15 minimum wage for city workers is an example of a Moral Economy. I will be voting for Andy on August 25th.

Welcome back!

I hope everyone enjoyed our run down of the platform yesterday. I'm sorry we had to cut off at half an hour, but there's a lot going on with less than a week away from the election! Tonight I will be covering Huntsville's cooperation with ICE as well as rounding out our Drug Policy Reform.

After that I will be covering our brand new "How Will We Pay for It" section. Thanks for stopping by again. We'll be about half an hour once more.

Alabama Solutions, a grassroots movement, endorses Andy for the people because he has experience in community service. How else will politicians know the right course of action without experience in problem solving in their own communities? He will lead us towards more justice & fairness in & outside office because he also listens to those with experience, the working class people of HSV. We have a choice, & we can choose a mayor who believes in fairness, taxpayer choices, & justice for all.
