Fight for Medicaid

Defending Healthcare Access, Protecting Our Communities

Medicaid is a lifeline for thousands of working-class Alabamians, providing essential healthcare to children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Yet, federal cuts threaten to strip coverage from those who need it most. We must fight to protect and expand Medicaid, ensuring no one is left without the care they deserve.

•  Oppose Federal Medicaid Cuts: Fight against any reductions that would force hospitals to close, limit services, or increase costs for low-income families.
•  Support Rural Healthcare Providers: Advocate for funding to keep rural hospitals and clinics open, ensuring people don’t have to travel hours for basic medical care.
• Protect Seniors & People with Disabilities: Ensure long-term care services remain available for those who rely on Medicaid for home healthcare and nursing care.

 “But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds." - Luke 10:33-34

Food Insecurity

Locally Grown. Locally Owned. Feeding Alabama Together

Alabama exports more food than it keeps, yet too many families struggle with food insecurity and lack access to fresh, affordable produce. It’s time to invest in local, small-scale agriculture that keeps food and wealth in our communities while creating jobs and economic opportunity.

Ryan Cagle’s plan will rebuild local agricultural markets by:

• Supporting Aquaponics Cooperatives: A highly productive, small-scale agricultural system that produces both vegetables and protein, creating sustainable food sources and jobs.
• Expanding Community Gardens and CSAs: Giving families and neighborhoods the tools to grow their own food, strengthen local connections, and fight hunger.

By empowering local farmers, co-ops, and community-led agriculture, we can build a future where no one in Alabama goes hungry, and our food system works for the people—not just big agribusiness.

"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding."- Proverbs 12:11

By investing $500,000/year of the $2.5 Million generated through Land and Tax Reform we will be able to increase food security, support local business, and cultivate agricultural self-reliance for working-class Alabamians.

The Opioid Crisis

From Punishment to Care—Saving Lives, Supporting Recovery, Rebuilding Communities

Alabama’s approach to the opioid crisis—punishment over care—has failed. Incarceration doesn’t treat addiction, and criminalization only deepens the cycle of overdose, poverty, and despair. It’s time for a bold, evidence-based response that saves lives, supports recovery, and strengthens our communities.

Ryan Cagle’s plan focuses on harm reduction, treatment, and real accountability—not punishment:

• Save Lives First: Expand harm reduction programs, including equipping volunteer fire departments as first responders with lifesaving naloxone.
• Invest in Treatment That Works: Fund medication-assisted treatment (MAT) through trusted local rural health providers like Capstone.
• Decriminalize Addiction: Stop jailing people in active addiction and shift resources toward treatment instead.
• End Cash Bail for Nonviolent Drug Offenses: No one should sit in jail just because they’re poor—poverty should not be a death sentence.

This crisis won’t be solved from the top down—real change happens from the ground up. By empowering local advocates, investing in treatment, and shifting the focus from criminalization to care, we can build a future where addiction is treated as a public health issue, not a crime.

“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” - 1 Corinthians 12:26

By investing $500,000/year of the $2.5 Million generated through Land and Tax Reform we will be able to fund this type of public grassroots infrastructure, prevent needless deaths, and fight this crisis.
