The policies that honor workers & working families are on the ballot this November—from paid family leave to healthcare, from creating a more affordable housing market to bringing food costs down and continuing the streak of job growth. Mail-in ballots will go out soon & #Earlyvoting starts in Oct!

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but we’re not stopping until every working family in Georgia has the dignity, stability, and support they deserve. Happy Father’s Day! 💙

While public employees now have greater access to paid family leave, millions of working Georgians in the private sector still don’t have the ability to take paid time off when welcoming a child, caring for a loved one, or recovering from a serious health challenge.

This year, Georgia took meaningful steps forward. After months of advocacy, lawmakers passed two paid family leave bills that expand access to leave for working parents and caregivers. That’s real progress worth celebrating. But the job isn’t finished.

Strong families help build strong communities. That’s why an economy—and a democracy—that works for working families matters. The decisions made under the Gold Dome affect the future our children and grandchildren will inherit.

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)

🗳️ 🚨 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.

That goes directly against our mission: Making it easier for busy working families to vote — not harder. If implemented, SB 568 also would have come at significant cost to taxpayers and created incentives to remove voters from the rolls.

📣 #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.

In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

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!
