Georgia Equality’s Eric Paulk Says, “Farewell”, as he moves onto a new chapter in life
“After almost five years with Georgia Equality, I’ve decided the time has come for me to start a new chapter. I am extremely proud of all that GE staff, board, and statewide partners have accomplished during my tenure and hold dear to my heart the relationships I’ve built during my time as Deputy Director.
As I look back, I am most proud of our work to build strategies for centering equity in every aspect of our work. I am also proud to have witnessed young queer people and young people living with HIV shift from being targets of harassment to self-advocates and effective organizers and leaders in the work.
Release: Georgia Equality Releases Endorsements for 2022 General Elections
The Board of Directors of Georgia Equality, the state’s largest advocacy organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Georgians and allies, is proud to announce its endorsements in the upcoming General Election in November.
“Recent developments from United States Supreme Court show how important it is to have elected leaders at every level of government that understand the lives of LGBTQ people. It is imperative that LGBTQ Georgians and our allies support and elect officials who are guided by a fundamental belief in equality” said Jeff Graham, executive director at Georgia Equality.
At this time, when many people seeking elected office are supportive of the LGBTQ community, the Georgia Equality Board of Directors will issue an endorsement for a candidate who we feel is best placed to advance our policy agenda. The lack of an endorsement should not necessarily be viewed as a negative reflection of a particular candidate’s views on LGBTQ issues in general. Continue reading
