BIG NEWS! Yesterday, Governor Brian Kemp signed SB 195 into law, legislation that will expand access to critical HIV prevention medications by allowing pharmacists to dispense PrEP and PEP directly to patients. This is a win is years in the making! Please read our full statement:

"You can only challenge the racial gerrymander if you preserve the partisan gerrymander that was the reason for the racial gerrymander" is tortured logic befitting Redemption or Jim Crow. The court effectively deemed the VRA and the 15th Amendment unconstitutional while pretending they didn't

NEWS: Last week, an anti-LGBTQ hate group endorsed the incumbents running for GA's Supreme Court. In response, we issued a statement with our partners at @splcactionfund.org. These races may be listed as nonpartisan, but the stakes are anything but neutral Read: georgiaequality.org/2026/04/supr...

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Both of these offices hold an immense amount of power over the direction of our state as a whole, so we are excited to endorse these champions of equality! More endorsements to follow. Find more information at: georgiaequalitypac.org/2026-electio...

NEWS: The Board of Directors of Georgia Equality is proud to announce its first round of endorsements in the upcoming primary and non-partisan elections on May 19, 2026: - Governor: Jason Esteves - Judge, Georgia Supreme Court: Jen Jordan - Judge, Georgia Supreme Court: Miracle Rankin

Many of you heard that the 2026 GA legislative session ended with defeating ALL anti-LGBTQ bills! What you may not know, though, is what goes into making this possible. Georgia is not changing in a vacuum– it's changing because all of us are working to change it. Join us: georgiaequality.org/donate

BREAKING: After a late night at the Capitol to finish out the 2026 legislative session, we could not be more excited to share that WE DID IT! We successfully defeated ALL of the nearly 15 pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation! Swipe to read our full statement:

Happy TDOV from our family to yours! Here’s a few highlights from a beautiful conversation with our very own Deputy Director, Chanel Haley! Who are some Trans Leaders you’re lifting up today?

#NoKingsBoston had a roped off area, in memoriam. Tens of thousands of people walking the Boston Common, and yet everyone was respecting this space. #NoKings

We especially loved the powerful speeches from @warnock.senate.gov, Chris Bruce with @acluofga.bsky.social, @blackvotersmatterfund.org, and others to start the day!

🚨 ACTION ALERT: This afternoon, HB 54 was hijacked in the State Senate to restrict access to medical care for trans Georgians, including youth & those of all ages covered by the State Health Benefit Plan. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Message your House Rep RIGHT NOW: secure.ngpvan.com/ro2Ljem8bkWJ...

We need your help NOW! This is being crammed through very quickly. Please take a minute to message both your State Senator and House Rep NOW before they vote: secure.ngpvan.com/ro2Ljem8bkWJ... This is yet another shameless attempt to play politics at the expense of transgender Georgians.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Just now, HB 54– a previously good bill addressing healthcare access– was hijacked in the State Senate to include a ban on medical care for transgender Georgians, including youth and those of all ages covered by the State Employee Health Benefit Plan. 🧵 A thread:

The closest modern historical parallel is the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay for intercepted Cubans and Haitians during the HW Bush and Clinton administrations, where at maximum capacity roughly 12,000 migrants were detained. But those migrants were never in the physical US.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Panitch asks, "Do you object to striking "homosexuality" from 102?" "If you open up that challenge, you open up that harmful material is all around our state... your amendment creates the issue of us changing established Georgia law..." Burns responds. "Senator, you just changed the code."

Good morning! We're back for part 2 of the House Judiciary Committee's hearing for SB 74 today. They'll be getting started shortly at the same link: vimeo.com/showcase/110... 🧵 Follow along with our live posts here!

"SB 74 does not concern LGBT issues. Code section 16-12-103 does not say anything about LGBT," one parent in favor claims. She's right– because code section 16-12-102 is the one which establishes a definition targeting homosexuality, which 16-12-103 relies on. Reading comprehension is important!

A parent is now defending the Bible's inclusion of rape and incest, saying in context it is not harmful. Rep. Esther Panitch points out that proponents of this bill are also taking sections of contested books out of context. "Who makes that decision [about what is appropriate]?" Panitch asks.

🚨 BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee is about to hear SB 74, an expansive censorship bill to criminalize librarians for sharing books which contain any remotely sexual content. 🧵 We'll be live posting the hearing here. You can watch along starting at 4:30pm at: vimeo.com/showcase/110...

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at our 2026 AIDS Watch in Georgia HIV Lobby Day today! Together, we’re making sure that our lawmakers are educated on HIV and prioritizing the 60,000+ Georgians living with HIV ❤️

🧵(4/4) This year was never going to be easy, but we’re still so proud of what we’ve accomplished together. 🩵 Thank you for advocating with us! We'll see you next year!

🧵(3/4) Here are the things we do again, and again, and again, and again year after year:

🧵(2/4) From expanding our programmatic work, to helping LGBTQ+ students resist and organize, to getting over 1 million views on a transgender truth-telling ad campaign– we stayed busy working for a better future for LGBTQ+ Georgians.

🧵(1/4) It's baaaaack: it’s finally time for our ✨ 2025 Wrapped ✨ 2025 has been a YEAR, but we made it, y'all! Despite the seemingly endless challenges we endured, it was also a historical year for Georgia Equality. Scroll the thread to see our accomplishments! 👇

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Big news!! We're so excited to share that our endorsed candidate Akbar Ali has won his run-off election for House District 106, making history as the youngest person elected to the Georgia General Assembly. Congratulations to Akbar's team & all of the volunteers who helped make this win happen!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

This time last year, I was on the South Lawn of the White House helping to lay out the AIDS Memorial Quilt. This year the White House did nothing and the State Department instructed empoyees and grant recipients to “refrain from publicly promoting World Aids Day through any communication channels”

In 2025, Georgia became the state with the highest rate of new HIV diagnoses in the country, meaning we play a key role in ending the HIV epidemic. We at GA Equality honor those who were taken too soon by HIV by continuing to fight for the rights of those living with HIV & for their access to care.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day to honor the lives of those affected by HIV. This year in particular, we're at a critical moment for the HIV response. That's why we're urging people to honor World AIDS Day 2025 by telling Congress to ensure access to critical HIV care. TAKE ACTION: bit.ly/GE_WAD

Our legal team helped uncover this document, and has been fighting against the Trump admin's plans to detain and deport thousands of unaccompanied migrant kids. Proud to work with them. Check out this story below!

Behind every name is a person, a story, & a life cut too short. This year, GA Equality's organizing manager, Noël Heatherland, wrote about TDORR & reflected on one life cut too short– Marisol Payero, a trans advocate & KSU student leader who passed recently. Read: georgiaequality.org/2025/11/tdor/

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance & Resilience, a day dedicated to honoring the lives of our trans siblings who were lost due to anti-trans violence, discrimination, & stigma. Every year, we honor a list of names that grows longer due to an increase in anti-trans rhetoric which fuels violence

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

In a previous era, the U.S. president calling for the deaths of his political opponents probably would've warranted interrupting everything else on TV for the day. CNN and MSNBC are running a livestream of Dick Cheney's funeral. Fox News is focusing on the Dem who allegedly misused FEMA funds.

This is the Democratic “behavior” that Trump says is punishable by death, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count. www.reuters.com/investigatio...
