Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers & mother figures in our lives. 💐 This Mother’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate a win for Georgia’s working moms: this week HB1118 was signed into law, expanding paid maternal leave for public sector & teacher moms when a new child enters the home.

🚨 Georgia Local Democracy Day of Action TOMORROW! HB369 would strip party labels from ballots only in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton & Gwinnett counties leaving the other 154 counties unchanged. Creates a 2-tier election system & a different set of rules depending on where you live. (1/2)

📢 We need you right now: Call or email your State Senator & Representative and tell them to do something about HB 960. Your voice matters. Use it! 🗣️ Find your lawmaker’s contact info here: www.legis.ga.gov Want to join us at the Capitol tomorrow? DM us — we’ll get you plugged in.

🗳️ 🚨 Tomorrow is the last day of Legislative Session, and our top priority on Sine Die is to change or stop HB 960. This overhaul of elections would make it harder, not easier, to vote. It adds confusion, increases costs & puts our elections at risk. Right before a major election year.

📚 Big progress: our ed bill - teacher paid leave, outdoor learning & more - has passed! 🗳️ Maternal paid leave is still moving & we’re fighting to ensure elections legislation doesn’t make it harder to vote. 🗣️ More public input is critical to protect voter access. 📩 DM us to get involved! #gapol

We’ve worked hard & SB 148 is still going! It improves paid leave flexibility for teachers & school staff, supports outdoor learning & expands life-saving defibrillators in schools. Two wins on the GVA 2026 March Madness scoreboard. 🏆🏀 #gapol

📣 #MarchMadness Under the Gold Dome: Post-Crossover Day Recap 🏀 #SB568 ELIMINATED! Big win for voting access in Georgia. 🧵 SB 568 included several provisions that would have created new barriers to voting. Most notably: limiting access to early voting locations for voters.

Dr. King’s words & example ring as true today as they did when he said them. Dr. King encouraged fairness & for all to be represented equally. We will honor his legacy this year by advancing equity, democracy & ensure the freedoms he marched & died for are accessible to all. #mlkday2026

Who we send to Atlanta really does matter. Eric Gisler @emgisler is running to support workers & families. Voter turnout is low & every vote will make a big impact. We won’t get another chance tomorrow to make our voice heard, grab a friend or family member & go vote now!

Together, we did it! Just 24 hours ago, Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard won out against their incumbent opponents who've repeatedly made the decision to favor big corporations over everyday people. You, the voters, spoke--and it was a sweeping upset victory for working families across GA!

For years, the current commissioners have quietly approved rate hikes that padded corporate pockets—while families are left choosing between keeping the lights on or cutting back elsewhere.
