POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Nonviolent protesters gathered at the Tennessee State Capitol as concerns continue to grow over congressional redistricting efforts across Southern states. Demonstrators are demanding transparency, fair representation, and protection of voting rights as lawmakers consider new political maps.
The battle over redistricting is about political power, representation, and ensuring every community has an equal voice in our democracy.
Peaceful protest remains one of the strongest tools citizens have to hold government accountable.

Emory University’s law school faced intense backlash from student groups and civil rights advocates over its handling of misogynistic and disturbing social media posts linked to one of its students.

After mounting pressure, the university reversed course—acknowledging those who spoke out against hate—and has since expelled the student involved.

Silence in the face of hate is never an option.

ANOTHER CASE DISMISSED IN DEKALB COUNTY!

Today, we secured another victory for our client after a DeKalb County Judge GRANTED our Motion to Dismiss a serious misdemeanor allegation.

Our client faced serious consequences, but we stood firm, challenged the allegations through the legal process, and fought to protect our client’s rights.

The result: CASE DISMISSED!

Every case matters. Every client deserves a strong defense. And we will continue fighting for justice, one courtroom at a time.

The work continues!

Interesting waking up to some of these comments about First Amendment rights, state laws, and city ordinances.

The United States Supreme Court addressed this back in 1939.

In Hague v. CIO, the Court made clear that cities cannot use ordinances to arbitrarily suppress free speech and peaceful assembly in public streets and parks.

Yet here we are in 2026, still debating whether a city ordinance can override constitutional protections.

My ancestor was cited for unlawful assembly in 1828. Nearly 200 years later, I’m confronting the same fundamental question: Who gets to decide when we can peacefully assemble?

If the City of Sandy Springs enforces restrictions that echo the spirit of the old Black Codes, I’m prepared to challenge them in Court.

The Constitution doesn’t stop at the Sandy Springs city limits.

If the city insists on enforcing ordinances that violate our constitutional rights, I’ll see you in court.

1939 settled an important principle. 2026 shouldn’t require us to fight for it all over again.

Yesterday, I joined a few thousand of our closest friends across three different No Kings activations throughout Metro Atlanta. (Sandy Springs, Atlanta, Southwest Atlanta)

It was powerful to stand alongside so many fellow civil rights and social justice activists, united in our commitment to democracy, freedom, and accountability.

The energy was real, but our work does not stop at the march. We must turn that energy into action at the ballot box.

Early voting is underway in Georgia. Let’s continue organizing, mobilizing, educating, and encouraging our families, friends, and neighbors to vote. Democracy requires participation, and protecting it requires all of us.

The march is one step. The ballot is another. Let’s keep moving forward.

Georgia Early Voting Update: 2022 vs. 2026

The latest numbers from the Georgia Secretary of State show that 862,228 Georgians have already cast their ballots, representing 11.4% of active voters.

That’s 36,848 more votes than the comparable point in 2022, an increase of 4.46%.

Here’s what stands out: Voters 50 and older account for more than 76% of ballots cast so far.

Georgia started early voting nearly 40% ahead of 2022 on opening day. Now we are seeing how those numbers compare as early voting continues.

The numbers matter. The trends matter. And participation matters.

I’ll continue breaking down the data so Georgians can see exactly what’s happening across our state.

Today at the No Kings Atlanta March, the message was clear: We must continue to stand up for voting rights, democracy, civil rights, and the Constitution!
Hundreds of Atlantans marched to the Polls to show that no one is above the law, and the power belongs to the PEOPLE!

*NO KINGS. NO ONE ABOVE THE LAW. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

Know your rights. Use your voice. GO VOTE!

The New York Times quoted my speech at the No Kings March today. 📰

Eight months ago, my big sister, Dr. Linda Davis, was killed during an ICE chase.

Today, I stood before a crowd in Atlanta and spoke about grief, accountability, democracy, and LOVE.

“My neighbor is not my enemy. My neighbor is my friend.”

My sister should still be here. 💜
