Goodbye May, hello June. Let’s flip that calendar and work together to create a peaceful, prosperous new future.
Lend a Helping Hand
After the events that took place on the evening of Sunday, May 31, Birmingham is beginning to pick up the pieces. Wondering how you can help small local businesses affected? Here’s how.
Take the Pledge
Do you know about The Birmingham Pledge? It was created in 1998 by local attorney Jim Rotch and stands as an important first step on the journey in addressing racial prejudice. If you’d like to take this important step toward making change happen, sign the pledge.
Feeding Families
In an effort to help those who need it most, many Birmingham organizations are giving away free food. One is even partnering with Huffman High School alum and NFL star Marcell Dareus. Full story.
Ace the Test
Birmingham is home to some of the most outstanding healthcare facilities and institutions in the Southeast. Which ones are leading the pack? View the list of the latest National Hospital Safety Grades.
Soul Food
