Delta Sigma Theta Birmingham Alumnae Chapter Leads Voting Rights Clinic (April 11)
2026-04-11 10:00 - 17:00 | Birmingham, AL, Birmingham, AL, 35203, United States
As conversations around voting access and election integrity continue to intensify nationwide, organizations in Birmingham are stepping up to ensure residents are informed, prepared, and protected at the polls.
The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Birmingham Alumnae Chapter is hosting a Voting Rights Restoration Clinic on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM, in partnership with community organizations including The Dannon Project and Return My Vote. The event will take place at The Dannon Project, located at 2324 5th Avenue North in Birmingham. Designed as a hands-on, educational experience, the clinic aims to help individuals understand the process of restoring their right to vote — a critical issue for many residents across Alabama and beyond.
What Matters
Voting rights are once again at the forefront of national conversation, with ongoing debates surrounding access, eligibility, and election security. For many, especially those with past legal challenges, navigating the process of voter eligibility can be confusing and, at times, discouraging. Events like this clinic are essential in bridging that gap — providing clarity, resources, and direct support to individuals who may otherwise feel uncertain about their ability to participate in upcoming elections.
The Impact of Proposed Legislation
Adding to the urgency are federal proposals like the Save America Act, which could introduce new requirements and potential barriers for voters across the country — regardless of political affiliation. While still part of broader legislative discussions, concerns surrounding measures like these include:

Stricter voter identification requirements
Proof of citizenship documentation that may be difficult for some individuals to access
Increased administrative hurdles for voter registration
Potential limitations on mail-in or early voting access
Greater scrutiny that could disproportionately affect first-time or returning voters

These changes could impact a wide range of voters — from young adults and seniors to individuals re-entering society and even long-time registered voters who may not have updated documentation readily available.
What You Need to Know Before You Vote
As policies evolve, it’s becoming increasingly important for voters to stay proactive. Before heading to the polls, residents should consider:

Confirming their voter registration status
Ensuring their identification meets current requirements
Understanding any changes to voting locations or procedures
Seeking guidance if they have questions about eligibility

For individuals working to restore their voting rights, access to accurate information and support can make all the difference.
Community-Led Solutions
The Voting Rights Restoration Clinic reflects a broader effort by community organizations to meet people where they are — providing not just information, but empowerment. By collaborating with partners like The Dannon Project and Return My Vote, the event brings together expertise in legal guidance, reentry support, and civic engagement, all aimed at strengthening participation in the democratic process.
Looking Ahead
With upcoming elections on the horizon, the importance of voter education cannot be overstated. Whether it’s understanding new legislation, navigating eligibility requirements, or simply staying informed, events like this serve as a reminder that access to voting is both a right and a responsibility. Urbanham.com encourages residents to take advantage of opportunities like this clinic — not just to stay informed, but to ensure their voice is heard when it matters most.

Built with Love: Dad & Daughter Edition Creates Space for Connection in Birmingham (April 18)
2026-04-18 11:00 - 13:00
In a time where schedules are packed and meaningful connection can often take a back seat, STREAM Innovations is creating intentional space for something simple—but powerful: quality time.
Following the success of its inaugural Galentine’s Day experience, the organization is bringing back its Built with Love series with a special “Dad & Daughter Edition”—an event designed to strengthen bonds between fathers and daughters through shared, hands-on experiences.
A Different Kind of Experience
Set for Saturday, April 18 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the event invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and father figures to step away from the everyday and lean into intentional, one-on-one engagement.
Participants will take part in guided LEGO® building projects, enjoy lunch together, decorate cookies, and capture the moment with a mini photo session—creating both memories and meaningful conversation along the way.
Attendees can choose between creative LEGO® builds, including a colorful hummingbird scene (which can also be transformed into a butterfly or tropical fish) or a panda family design that can be rebuilt as a penguin or orca whale.
Why This Event Matters
At its core, Built with Love is about more than activities—it’s about intentional relationship-building.
“After seeing the impact of our first Built with Love event, we knew it was important to continue creating spaces like this,” said Dr. Adrienne Starks, Founder and CEO. “This series is about being intentional with our time and investing in relationships that matter.”
In communities across Birmingham and beyond, conversations around youth development often focus on education, access, and opportunity—but events like this highlight another critical component: connection at home and within families.
By creating structured yet fun environments for fathers and daughters to engage, STREAM Innovations is helping to reinforce confidence, communication, and trust—elements that have long-term impact well beyond the event itself.
Building More Than Projects
STREAM Innovations has been committed to developing the next generation through hands-on learning since 2015, focusing on Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STREAM).
The Built with Love series reflects that same mission—combining creativity, learning, and relationship-building into a single experience that benefits both youth and their families.
No prior building experience is required—just a willingness to show up and be present.

An Evening of Purpose and Prestige

The night will begin with an exclusive VIP cocktail hour from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by the main gala experience from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Guests can expect a dynamic and engaging program, including:

Live entertainment featuring D Smooth

A keynote address from Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr

The event blends sophistication with substance — creating a space where celebration meets community impact.

A Legacy Rooted in Education and Access

The Naomi H. Truman Scholarship Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and an instrumentality of the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District (HABD), has been changing lives since its founding in 2012.

Originally established as the HABD Scholarship Foundation, the organization was renamed in 2018 to honor the legacy of Naomi H. Truman, a visionary leader who served as HABD’s Executive Director and the Foundation’s first president.

Her mission was simple but powerful: remove financial barriers and create pathways to higher education.

Since its inception, the Foundation has:

Awarded over $400,000 in scholarships

Supported students living in public housing or participating in the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program

Helped scholars pursue college degrees, trade certifications, and technical careers

More Than a Gala — A Call to Action

The Scholars’ Legacy Gala serves as both a celebration and a catalyst.

Attendees and supporters have two key ways to make an impact:

Become a sponsor and directly support scholarship funding

Purchase tickets and be part of an evening that fuels real change
