We’re 10 winnable seats away from flipping Georgia's House majority so get involved today! https://t.co/cv1re1nzZ8

After beating back Republican attempts to draw new maps and raise sales taxes on everyone during special session, we’re in a great position to elect a new majority that puts Georgians first. #gapol

Today marks six years since we lost Congressman John Lewis. But we did not lose what he gave us.

In this 90-second excerpt, Morgan Freeman reads from his final op-ed.

Rather than electing those who attack our democracy, seize our ballots, recycle conspiracy theories or even manufacture new ones, Georgians need leaders focused on improving their lives. That’s why Sen. Warnock was reelected in '22 & Sen Ossoff will be reelected this fall #gapol

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Some good news.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Senator Raphael Warnock's proposal to ban private equity firms from buying up single-family homes is now federal law.

And we’re going to keep building and working and flip the House this November. #gapol

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

This session showed what happens when we organize. Georgians showed up and stood with us against GOP trying to dilute the power of Black voters to keep a majority they can’t win on the merits. We stood against raising sales taxes on everyone in an affordability crisis. #gapol

Politicizing our election process weakens the integrity of our elections - it's nothing to joke about.

.@ScottHiltonGA jokes about counting pages as Republicans demand hand counts of 5 million ballots. If Republicans can't count pages in a report, and crack jokes about election security, why should Georgians trust how they count our ballots? #gapol

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

You're not telling the truth to your 48 followers.

House Democrats voted against raising sales taxes on all Georgians. #gapol

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

Increasing sales taxes on EVERYONE to give tax breaks to only homeowners will not reduce taxes.

Doing so will just SHIFT taxes away from homeowners, paid for by everyone else.

House Democrats DO NOT support increasing taxes on Georgians. #gapol

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

Let's keep fighting, Georgia #gapol

[Texas House Democrats @TexasHDC]

The South has long been a battleground for civil rights and fair representation, and it remains one today. This moment requires more than individual leadership, it demands solidarity. We’re here in Georgia today because we’re no longer playing defense in isolation. We’re building power in coalition. This is the new Southern Strategy, and wherever you are across the country, we hope you will stand with us.

LIVE from Atlanta: Southern Legislative Leaders Rally in Georgia Before Special Session https://t.co/wGuSWcdB9W

[Scott Holcomb @RepScottHolcomb]

Yesterday, Gov. Kemp cut $2.5 million for homeless veterans, more than $9.4M to address domestic violence & more than $3M for sexual assault victims.

Today, he announces a special session & the state will pay to bring lawmakers back to Atlanta in June.

Where’d he find the $?

"In Special Session, we will seek putting a Constitutional Amendment to ban partisan gerrymandering into Georgia’s Constitution..."

[Gerald A. Griggs @AttorneyGriggs]

Across the South, Governors are showing us exactly what they fear most: the power of our voices. From attacks on voting rights to efforts to silence communities, the message is clear. But our response must be louder, stronger, and organized. We will not be silenced.

We will mobilize, vote, and fight for justice in every statehouse and every ballot box. #gapol

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

The speed other Southern states have moved to redraw district lines after the #Callais decision shows why the #VotingRightsAct was needed in the first place. We can fight back – this year! – we’re 10 winnable seats away from flipping Georgia’s House, so get involved today. #gapol

Happy Birthday, Leader Hugley!
