Now in Raleigh they are trying once again to pass #HB127. What would it do?

#HB127
#HearingDelayed

Public outcry victory. Hearing on criminalizing voter registration drives delayed.

@gasenatedems.com showed the fuck up tonight, using every procedural rule in the Georgia Senate to delay this bill and defend every Georgian’s ability to thrive in our state. Senators, who represent diverse communities across our state, called every motion possible to stop #HB127 in its tracks.

@gasenatedems.com were ready to lay out exactly how #HB127 will erase decades of progress towards equity and inclusion in Georgia. With over 20 amendments and 30 min of comment on each, Senator Derek Mallow began what promised to be a long night of @booker.senate.gov level commitment in Georgia. 7/x

“Because we have a president that told you on day one that he would be a dictator, you bring this kind of mess in here after all the battles we fought in the South. I try to get along with everybody, but I am not going back. I rather be six feet in my grave than go back.” - Sen Lucas on #HB127 ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻

“I came from the 60s and you’re old enough to know what happened back then. We had B&W for water fountains, for restrooms.” - Sen Lucas spoke on the recent history of segregated Black and white facilities in Georgia—the very same history #HB127 would censor in Georgia's schools. 5/x

We know that the Georgia General Assembly trades on a fake sense of camaraderie, talking about friendship while at the same time Republicans attack our communities with bills like #HB127. But Sen David Lucas had enough tonight: “I used to be your friend. Do you believe what you just shared?” 3/x

Sen Burns took his time to lay out every way this bill would roll back progress for our communities when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Bills like #HB127 fuel divisions based on race so politicians in power can deny our communities the resources, jobs, and healthcare we all need. 2/x

If you’re looking for acts of resistance, the @gasenatedems.com are using every rule in the book to draw out the debate on #HB127, a bill which the majority party stripped and replaced with language to defund schools & universities with any programs for “DEI”.

STILL IN SESSION: #HB127, a revived version of the anti-DEI language that died in #SB120, is on the floor of the Georgia State Senate. #HB127 originally expanded teacher sick leave—now, it’s a vehicle for divisive, discriminatory measures and classroom censorship in our schools and our colleges. 1/x

GA Senate Republicans just deleted all contents of a bill offering additional sick days for teachers, and shoved in a ban on DEI programming instead. #HB127 #gapol

Don’t worry yall, I am comforted by the fact that the $$$ we could have used for educating kids in poverty can instead go to pay for all the lawsuits @aclu.org will bring against #HB127 the DEI Ban. #GaPol

#GaPol senators are really on a roll today. After stripping funding for kids in poverty from the budget, they just stripped ( #HB127) which would increase accumulated leave for teachers to replace it with a broad sweeping DEI Ban #SB120 which would defund schools and universities across the state.
