It’s so great to support Kamala - but please let’s not forget the down ticket races. The other strong women running for state house & state senate. They legislate in your community! And in places like Georgia, they stop a lotta bad shit #Gapol

URGENT CALL TO ACTION!! WE NEED YOU TODAY! Please attend the Cobb Board of Elections meeting in support of our Democratic initiatives. We are expecting loud opposition at these meetings and it is important to have a strong showing of Democrats. Public comment may be allowed.

Today @ 11am GA House Intergovernmental Coordination will be hearing Sen. Setzler’s SB 338 to redraw Cobb School Board map. This does not have the required signatures and should not move but we should still be vigilant.

BOIL WATER ADVISORY ISSUED

[Commissioner Erick Allen @erickallen]

To put this in perspective…. EVERY SINGLE GOP MAP created in 2021 has been ordered to be redrawn, when challenged.

In Cobb county every map is under judicial scrutiny; Legislative, Congressional, Commission, and School Board. All on grounds of racial gerrymandering.

[Commissioner Erick Allen @erickallen]

Federal Judge just ordered Cobb School Board Map be redrawn before Jan. 10,2024.

[CobbCountyDemocrats @CobbDemocrats]

Plaintiffs have filed their objections to the most recent gerrymandered maps that did not address the courts order.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

UPDATE: Voters also file objections to Georgia's new state House and Senate districts, arguing that the legislative maps defy the court's order as well.

What an amazing life she lived. Her legacy of combating mental health will forever live through the work of the @CarterCenter. God be with President Carter and the entire family.

The GOP-led school board continues to waste money on things NOT EDUCATION RELATED.

Spending your school tax dollars for their own power is irresponsible, no matter how they try to spin it or blame others.

[Atlanta Journal-Constitution @ajc]

NEW: The Cobb County School District has spent roughly $1 million so far on a lawsuit it was not named in, according to records reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. https://t.co/HPDw08zIs1

[CobbCountyDemocrats @CobbDemocrats]

We are exactly 1 year from Election Day 2024 and we will need all hands on deck. We will hold every countywide seat and flip the school board, but only with your help.

Chip in $24 today and be a part of the 2024 Blue Wave!

Breaking: @GovKemp just signed an order setting a Nov. 29 special session to redraw Georgia’s political boundaries after a federal judge struck down the state’s map. #gapol

[Atlanta Journal-Constitution @ajc]

Democrats were quick to condemn a message sent Friday, which was signed by the attorneys representing Cobb schools in a soon-to-be-settled lawsuit over a map outlining the school board’s redrawn election boundaries. Some people called for a retraction.

Meanwhile, Georgia was just listed as the worst state for healthcare. The @GaGOP needs to stop hoarding our tax dollars and start delivering services.

#ExpandMedicaid now.

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

Gov. Kemp’s plan to offer Medicaid health coverage to 370,000 of Georgia’s poorest uninsured adults while requiring them to meet work or activity requirements has enrolled just 1,343 in the three months since it was opened, @ArielWriter reports. #gapol https://t.co/yT5qmWrOz6
