#ICYMI: Nearly all of Fulton County’s candidates for sheriff said at a town hall hosted by @CapitalB_ATL News and @ACLUofGA on Tuesday, April 16, that they do not support the construction of a new, nearly $2 billion jail. WABE's @xchamian has more. wabe.org/candidates-vyi…

The tide is turning. This year, Georgia failed to pass a single attack on our communities while advocates in Florida and West Virginia helped defeat nearly all anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced. Kentucky ended its session with 0 attacks passed. 19thnews.org/2024/04/anti-t…
The U.S. House bill reauthorizing Section 702 amounts to the greatest expansion of government surveillance powers since the Patriot Act of 2001. We cannot allow this terrifying bill to pass the Senate. ACT NOW: bit.ly/4aWCRX7
Unable to make it to ACLU of Georgia’s Know Your Sheriff Town Hall tonight? We’re meeting the Fulton County sheriff candidates and hearing where they stand on key issues, and you can watch! The event will be live-streamed on our YouTube, Instagram and Facebook pages, @ACLUofGA.
ACLU-GA won’t stop fighting to protect our right to privacy on the internet. The Senate must not reauthorize Section 702 w/o critical reforms, including requiring the government to obtain a warrant before searching the communications of Americans. ACT NOW: bit.ly/4aWCRX7

BREAKING: The Georgia State Senate has voted to pass the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in a vote of 33-19. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration. READ our full statement:
Sen. Rev. @KimforGeorgia is speaking now about her family— an LGBTQ priest and an imam who have adopted a child together. “This is my fear: that a daycare can deny my child. That a hotel can turn us away… all because they have a religious objection to me and my family.”
“SB 180 is not a mirror of federal RFRA. Omitting the establishment clause could easily advance extremists in discriminating against LGBTQ+ Georgians.” @ACLUofGA's Sarah Hunt-Blackwell gets it exactly right: anything less than full protection creates a license to discriminate.
TONIGHT: Georgia Senate Judiciary passed a license to discriminate against LGBTQ+ Georgians on the basis of religion w/ a 6-3 partisan vote. #SB180 could move to a full Senate vote so we need you to show up & help bring PRIDE to the Capitol this Tuesday. mobilize.us/hrcga/event/60…

Georgia’s General Assembly just voted to criminalize bail funds, faith group bailouts and even bail bonds in SB63, which limits how many people can be bailed out by a person or organization to THREE a year. The bill heads to Gov. Kemp. This is Georgia. 🍑 #GaPol
