Georgia Equality is proud to announce our honorees for Evening for Equality! Leading up the the event on June 27, we will be highlighting each honoree and celebrating their invaluable contributions to Georgia's LGBTQ+ community.

Our final honoree is @mayorjohnsonsav receiving the Allen Thornell Political Advancement Award. As mayor of Savannah, Mayor Johnson established the PROUD Savannah task force to address LGBTQ+ equity in housing, health care, and employment.

Mayor Johnson also championed the passage of inclusive non-discrimination ordinances in Savannah to protect marginalized residents. He works not only to pass fair and inclusive policies, but also to resource essential community programs and organizations.

On this day, we recognize and honor Juneteenth. On On this day, we recognize and honor Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation came to Galveston, TX, bringing freedom to some of the last enslaved Black Americans.

With Juneteenth taking place during Pride Month, we also use this day to recognize the intersections of oppression– highlighting the ways that white supremacy and cultural hegemony have compounding impacts on Black LGBTQ+ people.

This day also reminds us of the ongoing impact that our nation's history has on the lives of marginalized individuals and communities. Only when we honor and acknowledge our history can we begin to right historical injustices.

We wish all a Juneteenth of reflection, community, resilience, and resistance.
We are excited to congratulate our endorsed candid We are excited to congratulate our endorsed candidates who won their run-off elections yesterday!

🚨BREAKING: The South Got Something to Say! Today 🚨BREAKING: The South Got Something to Say! 

Today, the Georgia General Assembly is holding a special legislative session to redraw political maps for the U.S. Congress and state legislative districts. Following gerrymandering efforts in other states such as Tennessee and Florida, this special session was triggered by the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that decimated the Voting Rights Act.

Yesterday, we showed up and out at the polls. And we’re going to do the same in November! These tactics are not a reflection of a lack of power within our communities but the magnitude of it. Power is and will always lie with the PEOPLE! 

✅Be sure to give us a follow and sign up for our newsletter to stay updated on special session outcomes and the general election! 

Cheers to continuing to educate ourselves and community as we work towards a pro-equality Georgia!
TODAY is election day for the primary run-off elec TODAY is election day for the primary run-off election! If you haven't already voted early, polls will be open until 7:00pm today.

Dr. Reznik since founded the HIV Dental Alliance, a nonprofit organization for oral health providers with the same mission.

Dr. Reznik has been nationally recognized for his trailblazing work on HIV, oral health and access to care, even setting up oral health programs throughout the U.S. for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantees. As Dr. Reznik now prepares to retire, we are proud to honor his incredible legacy with the Champion for Equality Award.
