The national president of the League of the South, a secessionist group, will speak at the local group's founding meeting at the Anniston Western Sizzlin'.
Michael Hill founded the group in 1994. He said the group plans to have a chapter in every county in the state.
The local chapter will be named the John C. Calhoun Chapter, after the South Carolina senator the county is named for.
The group says the federal government has overstepped its constitutional bounds for too long. It would be impossible to reign in the government now, so secession is the only option, said Josh Doggrell of Saks, president of the local chapter.
They seek a return to a Jeffersonian democracy, one of a smaller, less-active federal government.
"I don't believe we live in a republic. I believe we live in an empire," Doggrell said.
His group is advertising in a low-pressure, word-of-mouth, magazine and pamphlet campaign, he said, adding that he mailed invitations to the approximately 10 local league members as well.
Doggrell said he expects the meeting will be small, like most founding meetings.
The league was labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2000. League of the South denies the charge. Doggrell said he considers the label by the group a "badge of honor," since it comes from such a liberal group.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Guests are invited to join the group for dinner at 6 p.m.
