President Trump, we’ll see you in court.

Georgians will continue to resist because protecting our democracy isn’t a partisan issue – it’s an American imperative.
Why Georgians march:
✔️ Resist the administration’s attempts to access state voter rolls
✔️ President Trump’s unilateral decision to go to war with Iran
✔️ Stopping ICE from killing American citizens and brutalizing communities
From ATL to communities statewide, people are gathering peacefully and lawfully to speak out against abuses of power. The Trump administration’s actions ignore the U.S. Constitution and the role of Congress, putting our rights and democracy at risk. We’re showing up to hold our reps accountable.
When the Trump administration tries to silence dissent, Georgians just get louder.
