Welcoming Alabama is a campaign designed to shift the immigration dialogue away from policy and focus on the common, core values shared by various cultures. It is not political, it is social and directed towards a positive civic integration of communities. We promote respectful dialogue, by providing a safe space to explore perceptions and philosophies between individuals of varying ethnicities and traditions.
