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.
What’s at Stake on November 8th
Because of Georgia’s new role as a swing-state which has created a never-ending stream of tv commercials, it’s hard not to know that we have yet another round of elections. For those of you who have requested a mail-in ballot, you should start receiving those in the mail in the next week. For those of you who have not already requested a mail-in ballot, I would recommend that you make your plan to vote early in-person starting October 17.
