BLACK GEORGIA VOTES

2023 Accomplishments

In 2023, Black Georgia Votes expanded nonpartisan voter education and turnout efforts across Fulton County, prioritizing communities south of I-20 and focusing on youth and Black male voters. We built on our Fairburn work with accessible education, trusted community partners, and consistent local touchpoints.

Highlights

• Hosted 3 Civic Education Workshops with plain-language voter guides, “how to vote” walk-throughs, and live Q&A.

• Family Day community event offering kid-friendly activities, resource tables, and on-site voter education.

• Back-to-School Day outreach with student/family resources and nonpartisan voter information for parents and new voters.

• Youth-first outreach: school/after-school visits, peer-led sessions, and leadership activities linking issues to voting.

• Targeted engagement for Black men: barbershop, faith, rec-center, and small-business pop-ups.

• Candidate & issue education: neutral summaries, recorded forums, and livestream access for residents to compare platforms.

• On-site resource navigation: registration and updates, polling-place lookups, absentee/early voting info, and voting-rights guidance.

• Accessible & inclusive: plain-language materials, disability-inclusive events, and bilingual support where needed.

• From Fairburn to countywide: applied lessons from Fairburn Voters Matter to scale outreach and content across Fulton.

Geography: Fulton County, with priority attention to neighborhoods south of I-20 (including Fairburn).
Nonpartisan commitment: We do not endorse candidates or parties—our role is education, access, and turnout.
