We Believe: Our Vision

We believe in freedom for all under the rule of law that recognizes equal rights and human rights without regard to race, religion, gender or creed, family status, national origin, gender identification, sexual orientation or economic status.

We believe government should advance the common good, secure and protect all rights, especially those most vulnerable including refugees, in addition to supporting equal representation and voting rights, as well as protecting the environment.

We want an economy that works for everyone, not just the select few.

Our Purpose

Change can best be effected through grassroots activism — person by person, county by county, state by state. 159 Georgia Together will work to ensure all are treated fairly under the law, that we will fight through grassroots efforts, direct action and working with other organizations to:

  • Eliminate racism systemically, institutionally and personally by fighting to ensure there is no voter suppression and that all have equal representation in our local, state and federal elections;
  • Ensure that all enjoy the same rights and privileges under the law and Constitution regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation and identification;
  • Support equal pay for equal work, gender equality, and freedom from sexual harassment;
  • Strengthen public education throughout the state, including in urban, suburban and rural areas;
  • Ensure quality accessible and affordable healthcare for rural and urban areas for all;
  • Ensure that all are free from religious discrimination; and
  • Preserve the environment for future generations.
