Stopping government overreach, protecting marginalized communities, and ensuring equal rights and justice for all.

Civil Rights and Equality: Justice for Georgia’s 5th District

Equal Rights Are Non-Negotiable

Discrimination, systemic racism, and economic inequality continue to hold back Georgia’s 5th Congressional District. Civil rights must be protected, expanded, and enforced—without compromise. From racial and gender justice to LGBTQ+ protections and disability rights, we will fight to ensure every resident has equal opportunities, dignity, and protection under the law.

We need bold action to end systemic injustices, uplift marginalized communities, and build a society where everyone can thrive.

The Reality: Inequality Still Exists

  • 🏛️ Racial injustice persists in housing, education, and employment, disproportionately harming Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities.
  • 💰 Economic inequality locks working-class families out of good-paying jobs and homeownership.
  • 🌈 LGBTQ+ rights remain under attack through discriminatory laws.
  • ♀️ Gender inequities limit access to fair wages, reproductive rights, and safety from violence.
  • ♿ Disability barriers restrict access to education, public spaces, and employment opportunities.

We cannot move forward when so many are still held back.
