Why this petition matters

Started by conn jackson

We are raising our voices to support the passage of Georgia House Bill 426 HATE CRIME LEGISLATION.  Please sign the petition!

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."  -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

We stand together to petition the Senate Judiciary Committee to continue the execution without delay or amendment. The State of Georgia is only one of four states in the United States that does not have formal hate crime legislation. It is time for our State Leaders to stand up and declare that Georgia will stand for love and will not tolerate hate.

We have made a commitment to each other, our families, our colleagues, our classmates and to our communities to stand together and stand up for love and stand against hate. As we stand together, we stand up for justice and stand against injustice.

Regardless of our upbringing, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural background, country of origin or the color of our skin, we have pledged publicly and to one another that we will raise our voices and advocate for those that do not have the platform to advocate for themselves. We have pledged to use our influence and leverage our networks and platforms to ensure that every community across the state of Georgia is a place where all our citizens live in harmony, have equal protection, equal opportunity, and equal justice.

Please support by adding your name and powerful voice in unison with PROJECT LIGHT.  Let's support our leaders in getting it passed by end of session June 2020.
