Every person deserves the right to make decisions about their body, family, and future, free from stigma, coercion, or political interference. Local government plays a critical role in the reproductive freedom of our communities, and can either help us or harm us.

The Amplify Georgia Collaborative has created a Local Reproductive Justice Policy Agenda, a set of actionable, local-level policies that move us toward a future where Georgians have access to real care, safety, and dignity.

This is an opportunity for local elected officials to act. Help us ensure they know that the community is watching and we are ready for change. Email your city or county leaders to let them know you support the Local Reproductive Justice Policy Agenda and you expect them to move it forward.

Why This Matters

Statewide abortion bans and ongoing attacks on reproductive care have made local action more urgent than ever. The stakes are high and deadly.

In Georgia, the tragic stories of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, and, more recently, Adriana Smith, are evidence of a system that is failing our communities and claiming lives. While state policies create barriers, local governments hold the power to reduce harm, expand access, and implement policies that impact our daily lives.

The Local RJ Policy Agenda outlines local-level steps to:

• Reduce criminalization and surveillance of pregnant people

• Expand access to abortion and maternal care

• Support families in raising children safely and with dignity

These urgent interventions can save lives.
