Know before you vote: Georgia’s Constitutional Amendments 🗳️ Three amendments are on your ballot this year. The official wording can be dense, so we broke each one down in plain language: what it does, why it was proposed, and what a “yes” or “no” vote means. Swipe through to see: ➡️ Amendment 1: Bona Fide Conservation Use Property ➡️ Amendment 2: Nonpartisan Probate Judges ➡️ Amendment 3: Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund 📌 Please note: These are plain-language summaries to help voters understand each question. They are not the official ballot text. To see the full wording, go to My Voter Page (MVP) at mvp.sos.ga.gov to view your sample ballot, or find it on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website. Don’t skip the bottom of your ballot. Vote the whole ballot! #glbc #georgia #gapol #vote #midtermelections

Take a look at this photo. Why isn’t something like this more common? This is why independent journalism matters. This is why NVN thrives. I use my platform to have conversations that you will not hear or see anywhere else. Today, we hosted a special: Black Men Vote. We featured voices who have waited years for the mainstream to care enough about them to call, but the phone never rang. I see my role clearly. I am meant to be in this independent space so I can have conversations like this. Thank you to my guests today for a very special report ahead of the midterms. There are no superheroes coming to save us. So we became the superheroes the world needs. #NickValenciaNews #SiSePuede #blackandbrown #solidarity

If you don’t think your vote, matters, watch our show today. I’m proud of the lineup that we put together. With the midterms approaching, we focus on voting. Our virtual roundtable will be co-anchored by prominent Atlanta Community Organizer Scotty Smart. The new author will help me with this important conversation, which will feature a former president of Georgia’s NAACP, a past president of the National Bar Association, a one time candidate for Georgia Secretary of State, a progressive leader in the South who ran for mayor, and current Georgia State House Rep. Derrick Jackson. Black Men Vote. Plus, I’ll talk to media tech executive and founder of TANTV News about our new partnership ahead of the 2026 midterms. We’ll close out our special 2-hour show featuring a story of redemption, navigating the criminal justice system with Alejandro Zavala. He’s the co-writer and producer of the new legal thriller starring Terrence Howard. It’s always a big show on NVN live but today is really special. Your vote matters and if you don’t think it does listen to these voices, tell you why. - All that and so much more starting at 3pET/12pPT #NickValenciaNews #Breaking #2026 #Midterms ExplorePage.

On October 4th, we showed up on Auburn Avenue. The day before Georgia’s voter registration deadline, we brought the community, the coalition, and the culture together at The King Center. And what happened on those steps was something I will carry with me. We registered voters, told our stories for the Library of Congress, an heard from some of the most powerful civic voices in Georgia. And we did it all together. This is what the Griot Collective Community Foundation was built for. Not just events or programming, but Infrastructure, Power, and Legacy. To every partner, every speaker, every soror, every brother, every volunteer, every community member who showed up, thank you. The work is not done, it is just beginning. #TheCollectiveVote #atlanta #BlackVotersMatter  #GoodTrouble #vote
