When our rights are under attack, we stand up and fight back. I’m Nabilah Parkes. It’s what I’ve done as a Senator and a mom. And it’s what I’ll do as Georgia’s next Lieutenant Governor.

Exciting news! 🎉 We are in the lead for Lieutenant Governor. I am Nabilah Parkes, the daughter of immigrants, a mother and former state Senator. When Trump and MAGA Republicans challenged our elections, I sued Gov. Brian Kemp to stop them.

Rest in power, Claudette Colvin. ♥️ A hero, a change maker, and an icon. I’m so sorry more people didn’t learn about your story in their grade school classes. May your light guide us as we continue to fight oppression in all its forms.

I’m enrolled in Georgia Access — Georgia’s marketplace. Not only is my premium going up 39%, my out of pocket maximum is rising from $9,200 to $10,450. 🏥 If only Republican elected officials would prioritize healthcare reform instead of culture wars & kidnapping people off the streets.

There are a lot of rumors of ICE escalation in the Atlanta area this week. While we can’t verify any, we know folks are scared and it’s ALWAYS a good idea to be prepared! GLAHR is one of Georgia’s strongest immigrant advocacy organizations. Take a minute to put their hotline number in your phone.

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…
