Mission
To bring together like-minded, progressive individuals in Central Alabama during a seemingly bleak time in our political climate in America. We aim to bring hope to those who are despairing, provide a wealth of resources to those who want to impact marginalized groups, organize individuals to affect legislative change, and create a safe community for those whose values support equality for all people.

What does HOAP stand for?
HOPE
It can feel hopeless being progressive in a red state, so we aim to highlight all of the many organizations and individuals who are focused on progressive values and missions in the region. So many people are fighting the good fight, and things are not as bleak as they may seem.
ORGANIZATION
while our state is majority red, there are 1000's of people who believe in equality for all people, and we seek to bring them together so that they can experience community.
ACTION
many people feel an urge to help in these dark times, but don't know where to start. We want to showcase a wide array of opportunities for volunteer work, monetary contributions, and other ways people can get involved.
POLICY
our ultimate goal is to see actual legislative change that supports our beliefs in equality and freedom. We want to empower our community members to maximize their influence on our government.
Resource Guide
Our organization also strives to connect our members with a comprehensive, up-to-date resource guide. We aim to make this guide as broad as possible, covering any group that is dedicated to helping marginalized groups, providing social aid, impacting political change towards progressive values, etc. We also want to include businesses that our community can happily support, knowing that those businesses are women-owned, queer owned, POC-owned, etc., and/or have ethical operating practices and embrace DEI. In addition, we want to promote upcoming events such as protests, voting events, boycotts, festivals, paradzes, and more.
