On #IndependenceDay, people of faith cry out Fanny Lou Hamer’s truth: “No one is free, until we all are free.”

"As a minister of the Gospel, retired physician’s assistant and Black mother, I understand the grave moral and medical impact of this unjust ruling." -Shavonne D. Williams savannahnow.com/story/opinion/…

We are less than 50 days away from the 2022 midterm elections on Nov 8. Today, as we recognize #NationalVoterRegistrationDay we’re honoring leaders like Fannie Lou Hamer, who fought tirelessly for the freedom to vote, and remembering that “nobody's free until everybody's free.”

Happy #SineDie #gapol! It was a good Session for #GeorgiaValues legislative priorities with passage of #SB61 which repealed the sunset of sick leave for working families & the defeat of #SB221 which would have weakened voting rights. No SB221 elements were amended to other bills!

Packed house at the Georgia breakout session (along w/ our Nevada friends) at #avsummit23! Sharing what worked in ‘22 & where we need to go next in ‘24. Proud to serve with all these fine folks to move Georgia forward! #georgiavalues

The looming #GovernmentShutdown threatens Georgia's low-income families, communities, and businesses by risking their access to crucial programs like food assistance. We urge Congress to avert this crisis. #GAPol

We’re kicking off the new year with some good news—our team is growing! We’d like to welcome Shavonne D. Williams Min. Shavonne Williams, Sr. Organizer, & Isabelle Philip, Communications Assoc., to the team!

Georgia health insurers and #PBMs are pocketing negotiated discounts instead of passing them on to GA patients. #HB343 will require PBMs #ShareTheSavings and lower health care costs. The GA Senate HHS Committee must support HB343! Senator Shelly Echols Brian Strickland For Georgia

GA is overdue for #PBM reform to ensure that patients are receiving savings from manufacturer Rx discounts -- not industry middlemen. The GA Senate HHS Committee must support #HB343 and require PBMs to pass 50% of rebate savings on to patients. Senator Sonya Halpern Senator Shelly Echols

Call your state legislators and ask them to oppose school vouchers which takes public school funds to pay for private school tuition.

📣🎉 The Georgia House passed HB1010 increasing paid parental leave for public employees! GA’s leave policies-for when a new child enters the home-lags behind neighboring states. This bill would make Georgia more competitive & is a good step for healthier working families. #gapol
