We do our part to reform our legal system by electing trustworthy judges that will ensure equal consideration for all individuals under the law.
We strongly advocate for the abolishment of law enforcement and judiciary practices that disproportionately affect minorities.
We seek to combat healthcare initiatives enacted with the purpose of controlling the reproductive options accessible by women.
We seek equity for all genders under the law, to protect Georgia citizens from prejudice in the economy as well as the courthouse.
For the concerns of Georgia’s communities to be heard, we must protect their voices by protecting their right to assemble and prioritize communication with Georgia leadership.
Georgia is home to many communities that are often forgotten when it comes to living conditions and law enforcement, and who need visibility to improve quality of life.
We push to fill Georgia’s judiciary offices with officials who have a genuine interest in shining a light on the concerns of the people they serve.
We must keep the fueling the fight for an equitable Georgia by enhancing accessibility to voting resources, information, and practices.
Changing the Face of Justice operates with three central priorities: information, access, and action. In addition to providing a hub for voter information and resources, we will design and implement programs with the goal of molding a progressive judiciary appropriate for the 21st century.
In today’s political landscape, it is essential to understand the background and motivations of judges that assume offices around Georgia. We take it upon ourselves to study and inform our support network about our judges to ensure an even playing field.
Our initiative starts with the people of Georgia. It is the responsibility of the informed to educate others about the importance of all Georgia elections. Most citizens of Georgia do not vote in judiciary elections, and changing those statistics could make all the difference.
The election of more diverse and progressive district attorneys, solicitor generals and sheriffs across the state is proof that Georgia voters are beginning to appreciate that changing the face of the elected offices is one way to change the system. The stage is set over the next decade for a major overhaul of Georgia’s judiciary by the very instrumentality the state’s founders originally envisioned: the will of the voters.
Voting for civility
Georgia voters get to decide who populates their judicial branch. Due to ballot placement, the public’s lack of knowledge of the impact of these offices and unchallenged incumbencies, voters have underutilized their power to impact representation on the bench.
