Key issues

Across Georgia, the issues facing voters this election season can feel daunting. Here’s what you need to know about the key issues Georgians say matter most this election season.

  • Georgia’s maternal mortality rate is one of the worst in the country, disproportionately impacting Black women. Expanding access to care, including access to midwives and doulas, and creating greater emphasis on preventative health measures are critical to protecting the lives of Georgia’s expecting. We’ve witnessed the preventable cases of Candi Miller and Amber Thurman. When you vote in this election, be sure to remember your vote will impact the lives of those seeking reproductive care.

  • In Atlanta, officials are working to build The Atlanta Public Safety Center, also known as Cop City. This proposed 85-acre project totaling $90 million and featuring military-style training facilities and explosive testing, has faced stark opposition from concerned citizens across the state and beyond. Most notably, those opposing the project collected 116,000 signatures from Atlanta residents calling for a referendum that would put Cop City on the ballot for voters to decide. The issue of Cop City goes beyond the city of Atlanta and draws into question policing practices and funding throughout the state. 

  • While Georgia’s regressive six-week abortion ban has been repealed, there is still a great deal of work to be done in the state. Reproductive justice goes beyond abortion access to encompass: 

    • paternal and family leave

    • affordable childcare

    • a living wage

    • quality jobs

    • access to healthcare

    Sadly, the fact remains, that Georgia is not meeting the basic needs of its citizens. This election season we call upon you to join us as we aim to build a future where all Georgians can thrive.
