Booker to Headline Birmingham Town Hall May 4

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) is set to headline a rescheduled town hall in Birmingham on Monday, May 4, hosted by Blueprint Alabama.

The event, which had been postponed earlier this year, returns amid strong public interest. Organizers report hundreds of prior RSVPs and high turnout at similar recent gatherings, signaling continued demand for in-person civic discussions.

Doors will open at 5:30 PM (per the press announcement) with the program beginning at 6:00 PM. Please note this is different from the graphic, above.

The event is free to attend, though space is limited. The location will be shared with confirmed attendees 48 hours in advance.

Booker, a Democrat who has represented New Jersey in the U.S. Senate since 2013, said he looks forward to engaging directly with Alabama residents on the issues they face.

“I’m excited to return to Alabama, because the people of Alabama are no strangers to confronting the kind of moral moment America is in right now,” Booker said in a statement released by organizers. “In every part of our country, Americans are facing the same kinds of hardships: struggling to get by, disgusted by the corruption in our political system, and yearning for bold change. That’s why I’m looking forward to joining Alabamians for a conversation about the challenges we’re facing, the importance of organizing everywhere to create change in our communities, and how we stand up together to chart a better path forward for our country.”

Josh Coleman, co-founder of Blueprint Alabama, said the visit reflects both the urgency of the moment and the strength of local civic engagement.

“This moment demands more than politics as usual , it demands leadership, courage, and real connection with people on the ground. Senator Booker brings all of that, and the fact that he’s coming to Birmingham speaks volumes about the importance of this moment and the power of our community. At a time when so many feel unheard and overlooked, this town hall is about reigniting hope, building power, and reminding people that their voices still have the ability to shape the future. Birmingham is ready for that conversation,” Coleman said.

Blueprint Alabama, a statewide group focused on civic participation and policy advocacy, has hosted a series of town halls and community forums aimed at increasing voter engagement and public dialogue.
