Alabama — Little River Canyon National Preserve

Alabama · Self-Determination

On a fair ballot, a majority of Alabama votes to leave the union.

The majority is already here in Alabama. What is missing is an organized movement to reach it, and that is what we are here to change.

adults in Alabama would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 52% of the state.

Even the understated abstract poll counts 844,000 (22%). How we get this number →

The only question that matters

Alabama is already a nation in all but name.

If Alabama were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?

Cast your vote

Alabama has argued its own way since long before it was a state, from the Muscogee councils to the framers who wrote its first constitution in a Huntsville cabin in 1819. That instinct to decide things at home has never left. On a fair, ballot-worded question, calm and binary and peaceful, about 52 percent of Alabama would vote to leave the union. That is roughly 2 million adults.

Here is why the 52 percent is the real figure and the 22 percent is only a floor. The abstract poll asks people to react to an idea in the air, with no wording and no stakes. A ballot is different. It is binary, it is peaceful, and it puts a plain choice in front of you: stay or go. When the question is put that way, support climbs about 30 points over the abstract number, and that lands Alabama at a majority. Even the understated poll already says 844,000 people are there.

So the votes exist. What is missing is each other. There is no organized structure connecting the Alabamians who would already say yes, and that is the only thing standing between a number on a page and a movement with an address. We bring the playbook and the connections from the largest independence movement in the country. We do not run your group and we do not take your money. You build what Alabama's movement looks like.
