Thank you to our 23 strong Democratic Senators for fighting every day for everyday Georgians. And an extra thank you to the staffers, volunteers, and of course YOU, y’all made this wild session a little easier, a little brighter, and a lot more powerful. 💙 #gapol
BAD BILL ALERT: HB 397 is part of a broader pattern of voter suppression in GA. It restricts ballot access by banning Georgians from dropping off mail ballots over the weekend ahead of election day while making it easier for extreme activists to challenge Georgians’ right to vote.
What keeps you motivated?
Here's what @jasonesteves.bsky.social and Georgia Young Democrats President Davante Jennings say keeps them going as we close out the legislative session:
"HB 397 seeks to encode several State Election Board rules the courts overturned last year, including the proposal to count ballots cast by hand after polls close on election night.
Additionally, the bill would bar voters from hand-delivering absentee ballots the weekend before Election Day."
GOOD BILL PASSED: SB 170 from @kimforgeorgia.bsky.social requires the Department of Community Health to establish a grant program to fund rural hospitals in purchasing and installing backup generators to ensure continued operation during a state of emergency.
