Black Belt

Terri Sewell has spoken out in an announcement on Thursday after she voted against H.R. 7567, or the Farm Bill, that she said will harm farmers and make cuts to food assistance. 

Two programs serving sexual assault victims in the Black Belt were part of a round of funding from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to support their services. 

Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) issued a statement following a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down a congressional map in the Louisiana v. Callais ruling, which she said "guts" the Voting Rights Act. 

More programs serving victims of sexual assault and domestic violence have been awarded funding from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). 

$100,000 in scholarships is available from Alabama Community College System (ACCS) and the Alabama Association of Resource Conservation, & Development Councils (RCD) for students who are studying aviation and construction.

The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles has scheduled parole and pardon hearings for April 28-30.
