U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff just released scathing findings from a federal probe into Georgia’s child welfare system, which concluded that systemic failures and mismanagement within the agency contributed to the deaths of children. #gapol ajc.com/news/investiga…
"Janine’s goal was to disrupt the usual 'southernly nice' conversations about giving in the South & encourage philanthropy to focus on persistent inequities, esp. racial inequities, & grant makers’ role in addressing them," writes Susan Taylor Batten about our friend Janine Lee.

Last night, Georgia executed Mr. Willie James Pye, a Black man with an IQ of 68. Because GA did not have a statewide public defender system when he went to trial, Mr. Pye was represented by a low-paid court-appointed lawyer w/a history of using racial slurs against Black people.
This is an important thread for everyone to read. A bunch of private schools that promote vouchers have basically no standards or accreditation and actively promote being a tax haven for rich people.

Based on an analysis of one of our current voucher's dollars compared to population, these policies drain resources from rural Georgia in order to benefit a few counties. All to prop up unaccountable private schools that don't even have to be accredited. gbpi.org/wp-content/upl…

Georgians deserve a full clawback of any resources used for this project or similarly directed to Rivian. As lawmakers consider tax transparency measures, this is a strong example of the importance of ensuring taxpayer confidence in future agreements using public resources #gapol

I just wrote a @TheActionNet letter: Stop Anti-Immigrant Bills Like HB 1105. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-a…
TANF hasn't been updated for decades. This program supports poor families, as parents try to find work. Ask your legislator to support HB 565 which would improve eligibility and enhance benefits to families. @GaBudget #GAPol Send your letter here: bit.ly/SupportTANF?so…
GA families need your help RIGHT NOW. HB 565 would support families w/ low-incomes get back on their feet. This bill needs to move today and lawmakers need to hear from YOU to know they should move it forward. Email your Rep here: bit.ly/SupportTANF
We've released a new poll today that asked Georgians questions about school funding, child care, buses, health care and property taxes. You can find the full results here: gbpi.org/poll-k12-2024/ Spoiler: Georgians support public schools, not private vouchers, not limiting funds
We often hear that child care is unaffordable for everyday families, and that child care workers aren't making enough money already. With these fact sheets you can compare your county's child care costs with your county's income for a more exact view: gbpi.org/barriers-to-br…
It's #CoverGA day at the capitol! Here is @CLeahChan, @erinrob17 and @HillaryDong_ from the GBPI team along with Knetta Adkins from @HealthyFutureGA advocating for giving more Georgians access to health care!
We are shocked and devastated by the news of the murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student from Augusta University in the UGA campus. We support a full investigation that will bring justice to her family and the community in Athens.
My op ed was published in the AJC. The marijuana situation in Georgia has become a near crisis. #gapol ajc.com/opinion/legali…
GBPI continues to stand with public education, in opposition to SB 233. The reason is simple, and nobody explains it better than @StephenJOwens_ (captioned version available here tiktok.com/@gabudget/vide… )
