John Rich Backs Alabama Landowner | Birmingham News

Country star John Rich is rallying Alabama residents to show up at the Shelby County Courthouse this Wednesday to support Fenn Church, who’s locked in a high-stakes legal battle with Alabama Power over eminent domain. The hearing, rescheduled after a lawyer’s health issue, could decide whether Church gets a court injunction to stop the power company from seizing his land — a move he claims unfairly undervalues his property and ignores legal requirements. Church, who’s offered compromise routes and even invited talks with Alabama Power, insists this isn’t just about his land — it’s a fight for homeowners’ rights. With crews already on-site and access plans threatening his privacy, Church is calling for public solidarity, not protests, hoping the judge will uphold property rights and set a precedent for future eminent domain cases.
