The Council votes on the city budget on Thursday, Sept 24, 5:30 PM, City Hall, 305 Fountain Circle. The ALPR money is inside it with no line item of its own. Councilman Meredith will ask for it to be broken out. He needs one other member to second him, or it dies without a vote.

Sign the petition to demand justice for Hickory Ground and the return of the ancestors from plastic bins at Auburn University. Every signature strengthens the demand to protect sacred sites and honor ancestors. www.justiceforhickoryground.com/petition
Hickory Ground, or Oce Vpofv, is a historic Muscogee (Creek) Nation tribal capital and state-registered archeological site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Wetumpka, Alabama. This culturally and religiously significant site includes a ceremonial ground, council house, plaza, and ancestral burial grounds containing funerary objects.

Justice for Hickory Ground is essential to rectify the injustices committed against the Muscogee (Creek) people and their ancestral lands. The desecration of this site for commercial gain, withour the consent of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation or thr Hickory Ground tribal town, represents a profpund violation of their cultural and spiritual heritage.

Achieving justice for Hickory Ground requires holding those responsible accountable, restoring the site's sanctity, and returning all remains and artifacts to their rightful resting placed. This will reinforce the importance of respecting Indigenous rights and protecting sacred lands from future exploitation.

The same court that ordered AL to redraw its district map has now contradicted itself by spitting on the Voting Rights Act. Black activists didn't fight and die for this act in the 1960s to be thrown away in 2026.
