A Policy Platform for a Thriving, Equitable Georgia
We support candidates committed to building a state where every resident has a real opportunity to thrive. Our platform centers economic mobility through five key pillars—with equity, access, and community power at the core.
Pillar 1: Housing & Community Stability
Economic mobility starts with the right to stay and thrive in your community.
Increase affordable housing and prevent displacement through rent control, tenant protections, and lower AMI thresholds.
Support land trusts, co-ops, flexible zoning, and audit housing programs for equity and access.
Require Community Benefits Agreements and stop public land giveaways without inclusive input.
Ensure ADA-compliant housing and infrastructure to support disabled residents' independence and participation.
Pillar 2: Public Safety & Community Well-Being
Invest in care, not punishment, to ensure safe, thriving neighborhoods for all.
End arrests for misdemeanors, eliminate anti-Black ordinances, and fund violence interruption programs.
Reject militarized policing and surveillance targeting marginalized communities.
Guarantee sanctuary protections, end ICE collaboration, and ensure safe city services for immigrants.
Expand mental health care, harm reduction, and clean energy solutions to support health and sustainability.
Pillar 3: Jobs, Wages & Economic Justice
Build a just economy where workers, not corporations, come first.
Support union jobs, local businesses, co-ops, returning citizens, and city hiring equity.
Reject privatization of public services and pass a living wage for city workers.
Use fair taxation on the wealthy to invest in workforce development and social programs.
Prioritize disabled residents in hiring and workforce development strategies.
Pillar 4: Government Transparency & Civic Power
A responsive government accountable to the people—not profit or corruption.
Make budgets, contracts, and lobbying activity fully public and use tech to track spending and prevent fraud.
Avoid unethical vendors and protect constituent privacy and data.
Expand voting access, defend civic rights, and involve community and disabled-led organizations in planning and policy.
Pillar 5: Health, Access & Environmental Justice
A city where every resident can live well—physically, mentally, and environmentally.
Ensure clean water, green energy, and lead-free environments in schools and homes.
Expand mental health care, reentry support, and access to healthy, culturally relevant food in public institutions.
Fund community-based disability services including mental health, mobility, communication, and emergency preparedness.
