By organizing events in Clayton County, Fitzgerald, Atlanta, and Macon, Georgia ACT focused on increasing voter registration, educating low-income housing residents and college students about the impact of voting on housing policies. As a result, we registered 107 new voters, provided identification assistance to 11 people, and assisted hundreds others in verifying their voter status, empowering them with knowledge about their rights and the electoral process.
Georgia ACT is currently conducting coordinated voter engagement efforts in Georgia (including voter registration, education, and mobilization). We are doing tabling, social media campaigns, targeted canvassing, email campaigns and rallies. Our target areas are Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, Bibb and Ben Hill Counties that include traditionally underserved lower propensity areas (i.e. low-income apartment complexes, rural communities, and HBCU campuses).
We build, support, and inform a statewide network of thriving organizations, professionals, and individuals advancing equitable housing and community development. Our Vision – All Georgia families have safe and decent housing in vibrant neighborhoods.
