Please retweet our posts highlighting progressive candidates in Georgia who promote our values. Many have stepped up to run despite obstacles. They all deserve to be seen and supported. #DemCastGA#VoteBlue
Guess what, Brian Kemp and GA Republicans are using the same tactics with the state budget: unnecessary tax cuts and then slash funds for mental health, school lunches, higher education and county level voting systems.
Another election victory under our belts: Dr. Donya Sartor is elected to be Jonesboro's mayor, making her the city's first Black mayor!
CASA in Action canvassed 4,117 doors, speaking with 1,113 voters, resulting in record-breaking voter turnout. #ClaytonVotes#ClaytonConnected
The gap is in every state. A combination of race and job distribution, as well as minimum wage laws and job protections, factor into each state’s gap.
It's wider across the South and in states where women make up larger shares of the low-wage workforce.

Important wins from Crossover Day today:
- no HB 48 (attacking progressive DAs)
- no HB 426 (making Election subversion easier)
- no SB 221 (anti-voting omnibus banning drop boxes & criminalizing election workers)
Huge wins, and not givens. Shoutout to GA’s amazing coalition ❤️
Georgia—last night, Senate Republicans passed #SB221 out of committee, sending this anti-democracy, conspiracy-filled bill to the full Senate.
TAKE ACTION: Call + email your senator TODAY to demand they vote NO on SB 221.

Thank you, @SandraGScott76 for your tireless work on this topic. GA needs more positive legislation like HB3. How can children effectively learn when basic needs are not addressed? #GaPol#FundGAsFuture
Bipartisan policy reform in this state remains a challenge when incumbents have safely-drawn seats and do not reflect the will of all Georgians. We need #redistricting reform! @FairDistrictsGA Lobby Day Registration: https://t.co/P20TlX9ktz

Why #ClosetheCoverageGap? For over 2 million Americans, rationing prescriptions, sharing medical supplies & going without care are the only way to stay housed & keep food on the table. @POTUS & Congress, we can and must #ClosetheGap! #South4MedEx#2MillionCantWait
An alarming pattern is shaping Georgia’s safety net services, @klandergan reports: Phone calls are unreturned, benefits are not always paid on time, and the workloads are mounting. #gapol https://t.co/qIjO2VLaah

Here's a look at the Medicaid landscape in Georgia as it currently stands. https://t.co/usyP23n8jl
