All Democrats, Women and guests are invited to our monthly luncheon to be held on Thursday May 9, 2024 at Halyard’s Restaurant at 12:30 PM

The Democratic Women’s Luncheon was held on 04/11, at the Methodist Church in Brunswick.
Guest speakers were Patti Hewitt, candidate for Georgia’s First Congressional District and Rebekah Moore, candidate for Georgia House of Representatives, district 167.
Both candidates are committed to working for families and the under-served in their respective positions.
These include women’s rights, stronger families and stronger communities, strengthening public education, better health care,
coastal protection, diversity and social justice and most important, democracy for all.

• Women’s Healthcare  In 2016, Trump ran for president promising
  to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
  Once he got into office, that’s exactly what he did. Trump said it
  himself: he owns the dire state of access to reproductive care in
  Georgia.
  
• Medicaid Expansion With the 2024 legislative session wrapped,
  Georgia Republicans once again blocked full Medicaid expansion
  this session, lining up instead behind Kemp’s failed “Pathways to
  Coverage” health care program that has enrolled fewer than 3,500
  Georgians while costing taxpayers millions of dollars— 90% of
  which  has gone to administrative fees instead of health care for
  Georgians who need it. 
  
• Private School Vouchers Republicans also sided with private
  corporations over Georgia voters when they passed their  deeply
  unpopular  private school voucher scheme – a bill that will defund
  public schools and reduce teacher hiring especially affecting Rural
  Georgia in favor of unaccountable private schools.
  
• Biden Campaign in Georgia The Biden campaign is staffing up
  in Georgia, opening offices, and laying the groundwork to win.
  President Biden knows that the road to the White House runs
  through Georgia – and the Biden campaign is investing in the Peach
  State accordingly. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s floundering
  campaign has  one staffer , no offices, and is resorting to  failed
  former Senators  and  right-wing billionaires  to pay the legal fees he
  keeps racking up to prop up his bid in Georgia.
  
• Clean Energy Thanks to President Biden and Democrats’ Inflation
  Reduction Act investing in Georgia, the Peach State  now ranks first
  nationally  in clean energy projects AND  first for most jobs promised by new clean energy projects!
