Dear Friends and Partners,

Today is Give Day, a moment when Alabamians unite to invest in a future where every child can learn, every family can work, and every community can thrive. At the Alabama Institute for Social Justice (AISJ), we believe that accessible, affordable, and high-quality child care is not optional, it’s foundational to our state’s success.

But too many families still face impossible choices, and too many providers are doing essential work without the resources, compensation, or respect they deserve. Your gift today helps change that.

🎥 Hear Directly From the Front Lines: Parent Cassandra Riley

This Give Day, we invite you to hear from Cassandra Riley, an Alabama parent who shares how the high cost of child care impacts her ability to work and care for her family.

“Nearly 45% of my income goes to child care."

No parent should have to pay 45% of their income for child care. Unquestionably, child care is a necessity, not a luxury. When you support AISJ, you support families, providers, and children across Alabama.

Your Give Day Gift Makes a Real Difference

Your support allows AISJ to:

• Advocate for policies that make child care affordable and accessible.
• Elevate the voices of parents and providers and ensure they are treated with dignity and respect.
• Strengthen families so they can work and contribute to Alabama’s economy.
• Build a just and equitable child care system rooted in community needs, not outdated models.

When you give, you don’t just support AISJ, you invest in Alabama’s children, workforce, and future.

Together, We Advance Justice

We believe an Alabama where children are nurtured, families are supported, and providers are valued is not just possible—it’s necessary. And with your gift today, it’s within reach.

Thank you for giving. Thank you for standing with AISJ. Thank you for believing that justice begins with child care.

With gratitude,

Lenice C. Emanuel, MLA

Executive Director
