Grateful to our friends @BlackVotersMtr for supporting on-the-ground relief efforts following the devastating storm damage in Valdosta.

🔴 LIVE UPDATES: The Category 3 hurricane made landfall Wednesday morning on Florida's Gulf coast and cut a northeasterly path through the state. Its center was crossing into Georgia at 11 a.m., about 20 miles south-southeast of Valdosta. ajc.com/news/live-updates/id…

Working families being able to afford quality childcare to be able to go to work is a value that works for all Georgians. #ChildcareforAllGA #GAValuesWorkingFamilies #GeorgiaValues – at Atlanta, GA
A year of child care in Georgia costs $8530 and is going up. Families have enough rising costs and shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality care for their children just to go to work. #ChildcareForAllGA #SupportWorkingFamiliesGA

A coalition of left-leaning groups calls the legislation a power grab.
“Senate Bill 92 and similar anti-voter efforts nationwide are not about public safety but an attack on democracy.” #gapol – at Queens, NY

The Georgia Public Service Commission didn’t listen to the people at all and will raise our Georgia Power bills by ~$16 per month over the next 3 years. Join us and tell the PSC no more! SIGN UP: bit.ly/drmb-action

Maurice Jimmerson has been held in jail without a trial and without representation for 10 years. He's one of many whose sixth amendment rights are being violated in jails across GA. “This problem is at a crisis level right now and is likely to get worse.” atlantanewsfirst.com/2023/04…

Call Gov. Kemp at 404-656-1776 TODAY and demand he veto #SB222, a bill that criminalizes election workers with AT LEAST one year in jail & a MINIMUM of $10,000 in fines for accepting outside funds for local elections.

Republicans under the Gold Dome have a history of pushing anti-voter, anti-democratic bills through session.
@Esosa_Osa breaks down #SB222 and the harm it will have on election workers.
Call Kemp’s office NOW at 404-655-1776 and demand he veto SB 222. #gapol

Most people who attempt suicide do not die—unless they use a gun. We can save the lives of children and teens like us by passing safe storage laws in Georgia. #ProtectYouthNotGuns #HB161

.@PhilforGeorgia makes it clear. FELONY penalties for county workers attempting to properly fund elections is wrong.
Call your State Representative and demand they vote NO on #SB222. #gapol

WE NEED YOUR HELP! The GA House will vote on SB 222 on 3/27. This bill makes it a felony for local elections staff to apply for or accept grants, services, or “anything else of value” to support election admin if they do not come directly from the state or federal gov. 1/3
