Members of the U.S. Senate shamed the American people. They chose cowardice over courage.

They denied millions of Americans their most sacred constitutional right, and betrayed the nation’s highest ideals.

The FIGHT continues…..

As we celebrate the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther

As we celebrate the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is imperative we focus on what the man stood for as opposed to how he is projected to the world. He was a man of peace who was willing to fight for freedom, justice, and equity.

He was willing to speak truth to power irrespective of who took offense. He was a voice for those who have historically been ignored, invisible, or marginalized. This Monday, heed his words and warnings.

“As Dr. King did, the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus continues to stand in solidarity with our allies. We are prepared to fight in the halls of the Capitol to support progressive policies that lift up all Georgians and ardently oppose legislation predicated on fear, mistrust, and misinformation, says GLBC Chairwoman Senator Tonya Anderson.”

2022 is going to be a highly contentious year politically. Dr. Kings words will resonate. GLBC will be ready to vote, advocate, and legislate so our communities are served with dignity and respect.

Far too many Georgians remain uninsured. Even befo

Far too many Georgians remain uninsured. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic 1.4 million people in Georgia had no health insurance and the state’s 13.4% uninsured rate was 3rd highest rate in the nation. Black Americans are more likely to be uninsured than white Americans, are also more likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. With the lack of health system capacity in the northern part of the stat has forced Georgians severely ill from the virus to go to Tennessee for hospital care.

Support from a Senate Majority of the Affordable Care Act is needed until then the possibility of Medicaid expansion remains in danger. Let’s continue to educate ourselves and get involved.

In September 2021, the U.S. Census will provide each state the population data to begin the reapportionment and redistricting process. Afterwards, for two weeks, the Georgia General Assembly will convene in a special session to vote on new federal and state legislative districts. This vote will impact Georgia politics for an entire decade, so it is critical we provide our constituents the knowledge and tools to advocate for their own self-interest. This town hall officially starts a series of virtual and in-person meetings to Unite Black Voices on this important topic
