Listen to the doctors: to have healthy people and a healthy state we need to reduce, not increase, barriers to voting.

"The hurdles that Georgians historically must clear to vote are often the same ones that prevent them from coming to clinic visits."

We sent questionnaires to candidates for statewide races in GA. As an org dedicated to health equity, we crafted questions that would get to the heart of important health issues and social determinants of health. We hope this will be a useful resource as you cast your ballots!

We are excited to announce the publication of our nonpartisan 2022 Health Students Taking Action Together (H-STAT) Georgia Voter Guide: https://t.co/kOZso5CL20

Yesterday, Georgia doctors, nurses & medical students demanded that Gov. Brian Kemp expand Medicaid.

Kemp refuses to expand Medicaid as hospitals close, 70% of Georgians struggle to afford care & Georgia is #3 in uninsured residents.

Listen to what these experts had to say.⬇️

We interviewed Dr. Fakorede earlier this year. Check out our conversation with him about the Black American amputation epidemic: https://t.co/68fGlnmtsi

Dr. Foluso Fakorede talks about these maps to anybody who will listen. https://t.co/ItTFV4I66Y

No community in Georgia relied on early/mail voting more than AAPI voters. >85% of AAPI votes cast in the November election were cast before Election Day. Dismantling vote by mail & early voting is a direct attempt to silence AAPI voices.

GA Healthcare Professionals & Students: Sign our petition against #HB531 and #SB271 at https://t.co/VjPWxPty74

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

This month, Georgia lawmakers voted on bills to curb absentee voting & limit weekend voting.

This is blatant voter suppression. It’s not restoring voter integrity—it's an attempt to cherry pick the electorate. The Senate must act now & pass the For the People Act.

@GaSecofState One way to show support for busy healthcare professionals and their patients is to protect the right to vote. https://t.co/SUBV5CfTgM

[Emory Health Students Taking Action Together @hstat_emory]

We’re calling on health professionals and students in Georgia to join us in opposition to these bills (and any others that restrict voting): https://t.co/VjPWxPty74

Words from a physician. We need laws that make voting more accessible. Not less accessible. #gapol #NoNotesforVotes #Protectthevotega

[Emory Health Students Taking Action Together @hstat_emory]

No-excuse absentee ballots are a critical option for busy Georgia voters who are essential workers. Georgia's voting bills would eliminate this option. #NoNotesforVotes #Protectthevotega

[Emory Health Students Taking Action Together @hstat_emory]

These are the exact burdens detailed in this editorial in the AJC: https://t.co/kvwCqbIpx4

A pandemic rages. Georgia is 50th of 50 states in getting vaccines to people. 1/5 of GA adults lack health insurance. 55% of GA childcare centers have closed.

But making it harder for you to vote is the Georgia Legislature's focus today #gapol

#SB241 would end no-excuse absentee ballots, with exceptions for voters with disabilities and elderly voters.

#HB531 would only allow voters to request absentee ballots in the days leading up to an election with proof of hospitalization.

TODAY: The GA Senate is voting on #SB241, which would end no-excuse absentee voting. This bill disproportionately targets those who are vulnerable to health disparities. #gapol #NoNotesForVotes

[Dr. Michelle Au @AuforGA]

Meanwhile, just outside protestors continue to gather to voice their opposition to SB 241 and other legislation that would suppress voting rights in our state. - Team Au
