Pastor Kenneth Glasgow Calls Nation to Alabama Amid Renewed Voting Rights and Redistricting Crisis

Pastor Kenneth Glasgow Calls Nation to Alabama Amid Renewed Voting Rights and Redistricting Crisis

NATIONAL PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

DOTHAN, ALABAMA — As national attention returns to Alabama following renewed legal battles and national debate surrounding congressional redistricting and voting rights, longtime civil rights advocate and faith leader Pastor Kenneth Glasgow is calling on churches, organizers, students, legal advocates, and impacted communities to unite around what he describes as “the unfinished work of democracy in the South.”

Pastor Glasgow, founder of  (TOPS) and National President of New National Christian Leadership Movement. Is a nationally recognized advocate for voting rights restoration and criminal justice reform, has spent more than three decades organizing across Alabama and the South.

In 2008, Pastor Glasgow was central to a landmark Alabama voting rights case tied to the rights of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated citizens. That work helped expose longstanding confusion and barriers around felony disenfranchisement and voting access in Alabama.

“People are finally coming to Alabama because democracy is under attack,” said Pastor Kenneth Glasgow. “But many of us never left this fight. We fought when nobody was watching. We fought in prisons, churches, courtrooms, and communities. The South has always been the testing ground for democracy.”

Pastor Glasgow is now launching a broader public initiative focused on:

•    Voting rights education

•    Redistricting awareness

•    Faith-based civic engagement

•    Returning citizen organizing

•    Youth democracy training

•    Community political education

•    Southern grassroots coalition building

The campaign will include:

•    A Southern Democracy Tour

•    Church and campus forums

•    Media appearances

•    Community teach-ins

•    Digital organizing campaigns

•    Livestream strategy sessions

•    Voter empowerment trainings

The effort will operate in partnership with:

•    KSG Ministries & Consultants

•    TOPS

•    NNCLM

•    The Incarcerated People movement

•    Faith leaders and grassroots partners across the South

11:23 PM   Critical Injury Wreck – South Oates and Ross Clark Circle

11:23 PM Critical Injury Wreck – South Oates and Ross Clark Circle

DOTHAN:    10:39 PM    Dothan 911 dispatched a motor vehicle accident with critical injuries at South Oates and Ross Clark Circle.

Dothan Police, Dothan Fire and Pilcher Ambulance responded to the scene. Initially reported as a three vehicle accident, on the arrival of emergency units it was determined to be a two vehicle accident. One patient was entrapped in the vehicle.

Dothan Fire Engine Company 2, Lakewood, and Dothan Fire Truck 3, Whatley Drive, Battalion Chief Braswell responded. Am additional Pilcher Ambulance was requested, non emergency to respond.

10:50 PM   Scene Command reported that extrication was complete.

Unless there are internal injuries the injury severity is downgraded from initial dispatch. Several patients were transported to Southeast Health.

Dothan Police are in charge of the accident investigation.

The citizens of Dothan would be very happy with emergency services if you heard and saw the precision of the emergency services in calls such as this. From the call hitting the 911 system, the communications staff and the information they obtain from the caller, to dispatching police – fire and EMS. All agencies coordination from dispatch providing the best information available to them to roll what is needed. Law Enforcement coordinating response, checking the patients, patrol units closing roads and re-routing traffic. Dothan Fire Engine Companies, Truck companies for extrication and where to set up on arrival as they are rolling to the scene. Pilcher Ambulance rolling one, then two ambulances. The emergency crews in contact with medical control and the hospitals knowing what is incoming. The Battalion Chief handling command so there is management to the emergency scene for fire and EMS. Dothan Police Patrol Command staff  on scene coordinating the safety of the emergency crews, the injured, the scene is protected and traffic continues to flow.

While I am not medical, but from a recent documentary I saw, first order of business is stabilize the patient, then treat the injuries. So the communication from EMS to medical control is very important to allow the hospitals to have ready and waiting for the incoming patients. Today, the field EMS of fire and ambulance are the primary medical providers on the initial contact with those injured. The training and wisdom they have in the field, a lot of physicians could not work in. The difference is the physician domain is in a controlled setting of the hospital. The fire and EMS domain is unknown on every call. The fire and EMS have to adapt on the fly often times in treatment and extrication of the injured.

And all of this works like a well oiled sewing machine. And when it works as designed, I get excited.

10:04 AM.   Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum PITS Vehicle And Terminates Chase

10:04 AM. Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum PITS Vehicle And Terminates Chase

OZARK-DALE COUNTY:    08:52 AM.    Pursuit this morning in Ozark – Dale County. Before we explain let me offer a word of caution to anyone thinking of fleeing law enforcement in Dale County. While all are capable you better make sure that Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum is not working. And the problem with that question is, MASON NYNUM IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!!

At 08:52 AM a Dale County Sheriff Deputy activated his blue lights on a vehicle which was traveling south bound on Highway 231 going through Andrew’s Avenue. The vehicle was traveling at 100 miles per hour. The Dale County Sheriff Deputy called in pursuit. Multiple Dale County Sheriff Deputies, Ozark Police, and you guessed it, Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum!!!

The suspect with Dale County Sheriff Deputy traveling with blue lights and siren on came up on Walmart. The suspect was traveling 80 miles per hour. Next approaching Deese Road, suspect has red lights and blows through the red light. The suspect approached Lakeview,  in the left lane, at speeds of 103 miles per hour and blows the red light. The suspect approached Highway 103 on Highway 103, struck a civilian vehicle. And then he met his worst nightmare, Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum. Sheriff Bynum pit the vehicle off the roadway and out at gunpoint. That is Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum on the far left with his weapon drawn.

The civilian struck was transported by Ozark EMS to Dale Medical Center to be checked out. The suspect, identified as Malik Tyrell Scott of Midland City was taken into custody. Reports he pushed his grandmother down this morning and stole her car. Scott was arrested in Houston County on April 5, 2026 for Obstructing Governmental Operations and entered a guilty plea on May 4, 2026 and released on time served. The obstruction of justice was that Scott refused to identify himself when asked by Houston County Sheriff Deputies. Scott was arrested and placed in Houston County Jail until his May 4, 2026 entry of a guilty plea.

Now the dumbass faces several felonies in Dale County to include Robbery.

NOTE:    It is not just Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum, the youngest Sheriff in the State of Alabama who will ram that front bumper of the Ford F-150 up your exhaust pipe, the men and women in Dale County Sheriff Department will do the same. The Late Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson had six deputies stop a chase. Now Sheriff Olson was not a happy camper because some were new cars but he was happy no civilians were injured and they ended the chase.
