🌹 Reproductive Freedom Act Canvass 🌹
|
Georgia needs a Reproductive Freedom Act to protect the right to safe abortions!
Join us for an afternoon of outreach to support the RFA, which would enshrine fundamental protections for reproductive freedom into Georgia law, repeal medically unnecessary and harmful abortion restrictions that create barriers to care, and expand access to abortion care. We'll be meeting Sun, March 26, 1pm – 3pm at Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark, (830 Willoughby Way NE, Atlanta, GA 30312) to reach out to people on the Beltline about the RFA and sharing abortion resources and information.
Wear a mask and bring a friend. Make sure to download the free MiniVAN canvassing app ahead of time. Water and snacks will be provided! No experience needed. This event will happen rain or shine, so please bring an umbrella and raincoat in case of rain.

📝 We want to hear from you!
Take the 2023 Labor Survey 📝
|
At the 2022 Atlanta DSA Chapter Convention, members decided to prioritize our Chapter's labor work. We are building the labor movement by showing up for workers on the picket line, building relationships with rank-and-file union members, and helping our own members organize their workplaces.
But to do this, we need your help! Fill out our 2023 Labor Survey to tell us about yourself, your workplace, and the ways you'd like to help get involved in our work.
