Trans Week of Awareness may be ending, but our commitment isn’t. Protecting trans Georgians protects all of us. No political “strategy” justifies harm. We’re fighting for a Georgia where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. 🏳️‍⚧️
Blue graphic with pink and white stripes along the left side. The heading reads “Honoring Transgender Week of Awareness.” Below, a pink text box includes a message about reflecting on Trans Awareness Week and Trans Day of Remembrance, emphasizing that no political expedience justifies harm, that protecting trans Georgians protects all Georgians, and that everyone deserves safety and belonging in Georgia. The Ruwa for Georgia logo is at the bottom.

As the Government Shutdown drags on and now SNAP benefits are at risk, we know too many #Georgia families are struggling to put food on the table.

There are food banks all around the state to help and you can find those here: linktr.ee/ruwaforgeorgia
Map of Georgia with food bank locations marked by small basket icons. The map highlights major cities including Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, Columbus, Albany, Valdosta, and others, each with a food basket icon. A magnifying glass overlays central Georgia near Warner Robins. The title reads “Georgia Food Bank Locations,” and a yellow “Team Ruwa for Georgia” logo appears in the bottom right corner.

La semana pasada, la Corte Suprema dictaminó que la raza puede usarse en tu contra en público, pero no como factor en las admisiones universitarias. Nuestros derechos son desiguales y están bajo ataque. Conócelos. Defiéndelos. #ConoceTusDerechos

Last week SCOTUS ruled race can be used against you in public, yet it can't be a factor in college admissions. Our rights are unequal + under attack. Know them. Fight for them. #KnowYourRights
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Swipe "You have the right to remain silent" KNOW YOUR RIGHTS DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking. If you are inside of your house, show your rights card through the window or slide it under the door. DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS I do not wish to speak with you, answer your questions, or sign or hand you any documents based on my 5th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. I do not give you permission to enter my home based on my 4th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless you have a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with my name on it that you slide under the door. I do not give you permission to search any of my belongings based on my 4th Amendment rights. I choose to exercise my constitutional rights.

That legislator did not believe it was our job in the General Assembly to help Georgians struggling during their darkest times. It's callous and cruel. If we can do anything as elected officials to help Georgians, we should! #GAPol
I will continue to fight for and protect mental health funding in the General Assembly.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Despite suicide being the 3rd leading cause of death for ages 10—34 in Georgia, this year during session, a Republican legislator wanted to cut $14 million in mental health funding.

You can check your voter registration status today by visiting mvp.sos.ga.gov or by calling your county elections office to confirm you are still registered 📲
Under Georgia law, a voter who does not participate in two consecutive federal elections is moved to "inactive" status. If they do not vote in the NEXT two federal elections AFTER that, they can then be removed from the voter rolls entirely. Note: If you're inactive, you can still vote. Casting a ballot will reactivate your registration! ACT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! You can check your voter registration status today by visiting mvp.sos.ga.gov or By calling your county elections office to confirm you are still registered.

Take 5 minutes today to check to make sure your voter registration is active and up to date! ‼️
You may no longer be registered to vote in Georgia! Nearly 700,000 voters were just impacted by a massive purge. Here's what you need to know --> Headline at the top of the graphic reads "Georgia concludes latest wave of mass voter registration cancellations" by Maya Homan on August 21, 2025. Middle of graphic says: Georgia officials say the voter roll purge was part of "routine list maintenance" - 478,000 voters were removed for being marked inactive - Another 218,000 voters got warning notices that they could soon be moved to inactive status Bottom of graphic has an image of a silver trash can with an arrow pointing to it that says "Possibly your voter registration!"
