Our Call.

We are a collective of Georgia organizations, activists, faith leaders, attorneys and justice-seeking community members. We believe that the killing of Ahmaud Arbery was the result of decades of systemic harm against Black Georgians. We hold two truths: (1) that many in our communities want to see that the killers of Ahmaud Arbery are accountable for the trauma they have inflicted on an entire community and (2) that our contributions must better equip Georgians to respond to the multiple systemic ills inflicting violence on our communities on a daily basis.

 

Vision and Mission.

JUSTGeorgia envisions a state with an engaged and informed electorate, and a strong, well-resourced, and connected social movement, wherein Black Georgians have control and self-determination over their lives and are free from racialized violence at the hands of the state and individuals.

We will work to bring that about by fighting for reforms that shift interactions between Black Georgians and the state, building electoral engagement, and strengthening the infrastructure and capacity of organizations in Southeast Georgia.
