we need police reform now

  John — The past year has seen renewed awareness about the systemic inequities that pervade our society. In the wake of the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, we need to work even harder to ensure that critical police reform is passed in this country. The House has already act…

C+. We have to do better

  C+ — That’s the latest grade the state of Georgia received on our Infrastructure Report Card. While it’s not the worst, it’s definitely not enough to support the growing Georgia economy. We need to have an actionable plan to thrive post-COVID. The American Jobs Plan does just tha…

SIGN ON: Support justice for Tulsa victims!

  John — Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre that left more than 300 Black Americans dead and more than 10,000 members of that community homeless. In 1921, Ku Klux Klan members and a white mob terrorized the thriving Greenwood community for two days, beginning …

You know my husband

Marjorie Taylor Greene is richer than sin

  John — We organize in some of the key counties that swung Georgia blue for Joe Biden, Jon Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock. But last month we got the gut-wrenching news that Marjorie Taylor Greene raised $3,217,567.30 — 70x more than we did. Will you rush a donation to help us cat…

man, Republicans hate my work

What do you think?

  Hi John, I want to hear from you. Last week, the Supreme Court accepted a case regarding a 2018 Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks. With a conservative supermajority on the court, abortion rights are now facing the greatest threat in decades. Not only is this dange…

these damn liars

Hi John, Last week, Congressman Andrew Clyde denied the existence of the January 6 insurrection that resulted in dozens of injuries and multiple deaths. He even said, “If you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from January the sixth, you’d actually think it was a normal tourist …

Our one-sided Middle East policy needs to change.

  John, I led a letter to President Biden this week calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israeli and Palestinian territories.  But the truth is that no ceasefire will hold if the United States continues our one-sided approach to the conflict. So long as we give unconditional aid…

Today, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to Roe v. Wade, this calls for ACTION!

Trump says Biden should be overthrown, he should be “returned”

  John — This isn’t a joke. This isn’t a drill. Donald Trump just put out a statement calling for Joe Biden to be overthrown as President of the United States and demanding to return to power. Read it yourself, and then rush a $25 donation to help Hank protect American democracy i…

We can’t let Marjorie Taylor Greene sweep us!

They don’t want us to fix the Supreme Court

Kemp putting his knee on the neck of Georgia voters
