In 2020, Black and Brown Georgians have organized our communities to stand up against racist police violence nationally and here at home. Now, we need to take our power to the polls and hold law enforcement accountable with our votes.

Sheriffs across Georgia are up for election next month. Sheriffs hold significant power over Georgia’s immigration enforcement actions, jail conditions, and policing practices. This election provides an opportunity to change how policing happens in Georgia.

On Wednesday, October 14, Advancement Project National Office, Georgia NAACP and New Georgia Project are co-hosting a town hall on upcoming sheriffs elections. Join Advancement Project National Office Executive Director Judith Browne Dianis, President of the Georgia NAACP Reverend James “Major” Woodall, two times WNBA Champion and activist Renee Montgomery, and former All-Pro linebacker and Players’ Coalition Advocate Adalius Thomas for a powerful discussion on sheriffs in Georgia and the 2020 election.
