In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s decision last year to limit access to the medical abortion pill, Mifepristone. As of 2023, medical abortions now account for 63% of all abortions in the country.

Listen as @KimforGeorgia delivers an impassioned speech on the Senate floor against SB 180 detailing the discrimination and real-life consequences that she and many other families would face if law. SB 180 passed out of the Senate and now moves onto the House.
Imagine having your state's election interfered with and still being willing to support the man who led the charge in his presidential bid. Is this about party loyalty or protecting democracy? Which is it? #gapol
The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.
For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor.
The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.

A year of child care in Georgia costs $8530 and is going up. Families have enough rising costs and shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality care for their children just to go to work. #ChildcareForAllGA #SupportWorkingFamiliesGA

We are deeply saddened and disappointed to learn that Governor Kemp signed SB 140 into law today. This is an attack on transgender youth, and we fully support Georgia's LGBTQ+ community as our attention now shifts to how we can best support them moving forward.
BREAKING: In response to the news that Governor Kemp signed SB 140 into law today, executive director @JeffGrahamAtl issued the following statement:

The harmful transphobic bill, SB 140, is being voted on TODAY. Call your state house representative and tell them to vote NO, NOW! legis.ga.gov/find-my-legisla…
🚨GEORGIA: #SB140, Republican legislators’ anti-trans ban on gender affirming care for minors, will be voted on in the House TODAY. Call your Representative NOW and demand they OPPOSE SB 140: legis.ga.gov/find-my-legisla…
There are 30 minutes left to call your state house reps and tell them to STOP #SB140!
After twelve hours of stalling last Monday, lawmakers advanced #SB140 in the dark of night.
This transphobic bill would limit life-saving medical care for trans youth like the young trans Georgians in our coalition. But there’s still time to take action: call TODAY by 1 PM.
There’s no one else we’d rather be doing this work with! 🫶
