If this is your first canvass, please arrive 10 minutes early so our experienced volunteers can walk you through all the details!  Please download the miniVAN app and Whatsapp (we'll be using it to communicate!) ahead of time (on Google Play or Apple App Store), and wear a mask! We'll share free food and drink for all volunteers, and new canvassers will get a free campaign t-shirt.

We're knocking doors, reaching out to fourth district voters and asking them to Vote Rogelio!

End GILEE Now!

Join us this Saturday as we demand that Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms end Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) - a program first instated in 1992 that sends American law enforcement and public safety officials to Israel to be trained and militarized by IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldiers.

For more information on GILEE, see here.

Please also follow the Facebook page for updates and future events.

Bring your friends and be ready to make new ones. If you know any people or organizations looking to sponsor, please contact [email protected]!
