Podcast Ep. 50: What’s Next For Georgia

What's Next For Georgia on the Better Georgia Podcast

Today on the show we’re talking about the results of the special election and what is next for progressives in Georgia. To help us answer that question, Louis sat down to interview two progressive activists, Gaetana Marshall of She Conversations and Gerald Griggs of the Georgia Alliance for Social Justice. They brought up some great issues that we can and should focus our attention on, and brought up some questions to help progressives examine the movement we’re a part of. What are we going to do that’s different?

We’ve also been getting lots of mail full of opinions on why Jon Ossoff lost the special election, so we’re sharing some of our favorites with you.
