Arise legislative update: Week of Jan. 19, 2026

Arise's LaTrell Clifford Wood focuses this week on one of our key hunger relief priorities: no-cost school meals. After the Legislature increased state funding for school meals last year, Alabama public schools served 2.8 million more breakfasts to our Alabama students in fall 2025. Greater access to school meals improves learning outcomes, and Arise is advocating to ensure that this school meal funding remains in the Education Trust Fund budget for school year 2026-27 and beyond. Arise also will keep working to increase this investment and ensure that every student in Alabama's public schools can access a no-cost school breakfast option.
