It’s qualifying week! There’s just two days left to qualify to run for office. Check who is running in your state house and state senate seats. If you don’t see anyone, run with us!

Incredible things happening 💛

There’s no doubt @ruwaromman.bsky.social in the Senate would be good for Georgia.

Today, I qualified to run for State Senate District 7. We are in a pivotal year, and this moment demands experienced leadership inside and outside the Gold Dome. 1/

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Currently there are no Democrats running in the following flippable Georgia State House seats: HD 45 (Sharon Cooper, East Cobb), HD 147 (Bethany Ballard, Warner Robins), and HD 164 (Ron Stephens, Pooler/Bryan Co). Deadline to file is Friday at noon.

“I’m actually a deep believer that our priority and our mission right now is to build the kind of infrastructure so that way, if and when this happens again, we’re actually able to not only be prepared for it, but also beat it.”

Elections are already happening, and we’re still canvassing for amazing candidates. Support Audrey Lux today!

Killing innocent children will not free anyone. Call your members of Congress now and urge them to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

It’s time for spiteful optimism! Talk to y’all at 8 🩵

I voted no for every Georgian who is losing thousands for healthcare, infrastructure, and schools.

This moment requires leadership not listening to the same consultants whose livelihoods depend on never admitting to making a mistake.

We asked some of our canvassers why they joined our movement, here’s what they said. Join us!

All of us agree on expanding Medicaid (though it took some longer than others). But that’s the floor, especially since the bipartisan coalition is there. The question is what comes next? Our campaign is the only one laying out that vision.

A Scouts group is currently selling cookies outside of a mosque (where most worshippers are fasting). It’s diabolical and genius. They got me lol

Deeply honored to have your support. Our state makes it so easy and worth it to be brave, and I know that our movement can change our state for the better!

Like I said last night, I love our state. It’s because I love our state that I’m running for Governor. This is not the year to settle y’all. The reality is for too long too many defined us by the worst among us. And yet, our state birthed movements that led the country.

Help us get more walking time instead of call time! Chip in today!

I was asked a question that has plagued Muslims for decades…Ramadan Mubarak y’all

Ramadan began as Mardi Gras turned to Ash Wednesday and Lent. We even celebrated the Lunar New Year, all in the past couple of days. Each tradition calls on its observers to reflect and care for each other. May this season inspire all of us to be our best selves.

Fascist pedophiles aren’t welcome here.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a servant leader to those who have been ignored, oppressed, and under attack. He spoke clearly against apartheid abroad and injustice at home. His voice echoed in the halls of power and in rooms of those who needed him most. (1/2)

Thanks for having me on @joyannreid.bsky.social to talk about the Fulton county raids and my visit to Stewart Detention Center.

ruwa romman is a georgia state house rep running for governor. one of the real ones👇

It’s a great week to listen to Workers’ Lit! Guests this week: @thepoduniverse.com and @ruwaromman.bsky.social And maybe even a bonus episode…you’ll have to ask @nmamatas.bsky.social about that 👀

Not one more cent should be going to concentration camps.

I love you Georgia. We deserve so much better than this. Let’s build a multifaith, multiracial, and multigenerational coalition for a movement that will flip our state 🍑

Thank you for going down there @ruwaromman.bsky.social and for bringing us accurate reports of what is going on. Nobody should have to suffer the way Rodney and other detainees have. Stop the cruelty!

Today we met with detainees including Rodney Taylor to hear from them directly about the conditions in Stewart Detention Center. This detention center is notorious and accounts for the majority of deaths in ICE custody.

We can! We’ve got 3,036 volunteers signed up and the only statewide field program. Chip in to fund it: www.ruwaforgeorgia.com/pledge

What's refreshing to me about this ad is that it just up and explains what she's asking money for in a straightforward way (field programs for canvassing and targeted ad spends), and that's felt grimly rare in a lot of the email spam that fills up inboxes these days

We have the many and can absolutely raise the money. Chip in today for a Georgia we deserve. A Georgia where we reopen hospitals, take homes back from corporate landlords, raise the minimum wage, and press pause on data centers.

Georgia! Support LeMario Brown!! www.lemarioforgeorgia.com

We’re the only campaign building a statewide field program, and it’s because of supporters like you.  We’re just getting started, join our movement today!

#Georgia #Election #District18 #LemarioBrown #Breaking There's a clear choice in Georgia senate race and early voting starts today. Stand Up for #democracy #affordability #WorkingPeople #compassion YOUR VOTE MATTERS! We can improve things. bsky.app/profile/ruwa...

We have 100 days to reach voters all around Georgia ahead of the primary on May 19th. This year is a once in a generation election cycle. We can not only flip our state, but also build the kind of governing coalition that puts us first. But, we can only do it together. Join our movement!

A state senate district in Texas swung almost +30 points and flipped blue last week. We only need to do HALF of that to elect Lemario Brown to the Georgia Senate. If you live in Senate District 18 early voting starts tomorrow 2/9 and runs through Friday 2/13. ✨Election Day is 2/17!

Thanks for stopping by! We are knocking doors and making calls every week so come back when you can!

🎤 @ruwaromman.bsky.social: "In 2023, our governor line item vetoed $6 million for breakfast and lunch for kids - part of his move for fiscal responsibility. 4 months later, he bought $10 million worth of Israeli bonds and then 7 months later, got a million dollars into his pac from Miriam Adelson."

Statement on Trump’s Racist Video

Hani Almadhoun is the Senior Director of Philanthropy at UNRWA USA and the co-founder of the Gaza Soup Kitchen. We recognized him and the amazing work he’s doing to feed Palestinians in Gaza during the ongoing genocide. Join us next Sat, Feb 14th for the UNWRA 5K to support this life saving work!

Yup, but they won’t stop without us showing our power. AIPAC’s state affiliates are now gearing up here in Georgia. They’ve taken state legislators on propaganda trips, are growing a state level pac, and recently introduced a bill in the House to rename the West Bank “Judea and Samaria.” 1/

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

There is so much we can do in this moment which is why I cosponsored HB470 that bans ICE from schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. Now we need you. Reach out to the chair of Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee and ask for this bill get a hearing.

Monday, Feb 9 we’re welcoming Ruwa Romman to our Hall County Democrats meeting. She’s a working-class advocate fighting corporate greed, rising costs, and 20+ years of GOP control in Georgia. Come listen, ask questions, and be part of the change. All are welcome.

Ready to flip our state one door, one person, and one conversation at a time? Come canvass with us! Ruwaforgeorgia.com/volunteer

I introduced the first statewide data center moratorium in the country and corporations got mad before the bill language was even done. We should get all the facts before permanently changing the beautiful landscape of our state.

This month marks 100 years since our country began celebrating Black History Month. But it is not enough to just recognize this month. Even 100 years later, we've continued to fail Black Georgians from healthcare, to jobs, to critical support for Black farmers.

We stand with Minnesota and echo the calls ringing out around our country to abolish ICE. No one should have to fear leaving their home. Reach out to your legislators encouraging them to pass our bills that will keep Georgians safe.

Last year we launched our campaign for Governor because I deeply believe we deserve better. And, now is the time to be brave. Our first public deadline is in just two hours. Can you make a pledge before midnight? 👇🏻
