We hope you’ve heard the big news: The Alabama House voted Thursday to reduce the state grocery tax!
It was unanimous: 103-0. It was an important step toward a more just and equitable tax system. And it was thanks to years of determined advocacy by folks like you. Now we need to keep up the momentum as the bill moves to the Senate.
Use the form below to thank your representative for voting “yes” on HB 479 and to encourage your senator to do the same.
HB 479 by Rep. Danny Garrett, R-Trussville, would reduce the state sales tax on groceries from 4% to 2% over the next three years. This would make it easier for people across our state to make ends meet. It would mean a tax cut of about $300 a year for an average Alabama family. And it would be significant progress toward Alabama Arise’s ultimate goal of ending the state grocery tax entirely. For more on HB 479, read our fact sheet.
We’re closer to reducing the state grocery tax than we’ve ever been before. All 35 state senators have indicated their support for this effort. Please take a moment to thank them for that support and ask them to pass HB 479 quickly.
