The Trump Regime and his Republican enablers are trying to starve their constituents into trading food now for healthcare later. Support the fight with mutual aid. Give what you can!

Georgians, please contact your Congressional Reps at congress.gov/contact. Tell them how loss of SNAP benefits affect your household. Demand they speak up for you. They do not work for Mike Johnson, they work for you!

Hey #Atlanta! Some info on the PSC Public Comment Session tomorrow and an opportunity to connect with other Georgians. Let's build some #community! This info is kindly provided by @hiphopcaucus.bsky.social #vote #GoodTrouble #ATL #Georgia

We had two protests in my county this time! Way to go, neighbors!

Still public servants- @firedbutfighting.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info @cdcmutualaid.bsky.social- supporting public health and CDC. Thank you for your courage and commitment.

Atlanta No Kings rally.

Augusta Ga No Kings

Hey, Atlanta! Protestors at today's No Kings rally could have filled the Fox Theatre at least TWICE!

Here are some of our pictures from No Kings rally in Atlanta, GA. We will post a few more in a bit. Share any great CDC, public health, and or science signs you saw while at a No Kings rally today. We can't wait to see everyone's creativity shine. #USAnotRFK #CDC #PublicHealth #Science

Raleigh Indivisible had a table with other ways to get involved and was running a fundraiser for school snacks to highlight cuts to the school nutrition program. They did a great job!

💪🇺🇸 At the No Kings Day rally, they wore the world they serve. USAID workers standing for people, not power. No crowns. No strongmen.

#NoKings ever. Public land not ever for sale. Climate change is real. Clean water is life 🌊💙

Some of the signs and costumes from #nokings in Atlanta. It was a good time. Took some videos too that I will try to post later today.#nokings #atlanta #protest

Had a great time at the #CantonGA #NoKings #protest this morning! I'm worn out but very encouraged by the huge turnout & support from this decidedly #Republican area. Remember: vote for @peterhubbardga.bsky.social & #AliciaJohnson for #PSC! @votesaveamerica.crooked.com @cherokeedemsga.bsky.social
