There is a national spotlight shown on our state right now, and for nothing good.

What has happened over the past few months in Brunswick with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, and the subsequent effort to cover it up is disgusting. It’s clearer now more than ever before that Georgia must begin address violence against the African American community and all marginalized communities — and it needs to happen now.  Click here to send a message to your State Senator urging them to support a hate crime law in Georgia. 

House Bill 426 is a penalty-enhancement hate crime bill that would provide increased penalties for crimes committed based on bias or prejudice against someone because of their race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability. Nearly every other state in our country has a hate crime law on the books. Georgia needs to join them. Join us in sending a message today.
