📝 Protect Abortion Rights in Georgia 📝

Abortion is a Human Right graphic

On Sept. 20th, the DeKalb County Commission will vote on a resolution to decriminalize abortion — making the prosecution of abortions the lowest priority for DeKalb County Police and prohibiting the aiding of other police departments on abortion cases.

 

You can make your voice heard by contacting your county commissioner and by signing our petition to pass the Reproductive Freedom Act to ensure safe and equitable abortion access for all Georgians.
