OFFICIAL STATEMENT: After watching Lt. Gov @GeoffDuncanGA’s press conference introducing his new hate crimes bill, we have many concerns. #GaPol
Georgia NAACP, an 111 year old organization with over 138 units representing Georgians in every corner of the state, was not consulted while drafting this bill.
During a time when people are literally dying, being murdered and lynched every single day, it is a shame knowing @GeoffDuncanGA nor anyone from his office ever reached out to ask for our input.
This bill does not address the demands our organization nor @AJustGeorgia created based on what the communities in Brunswick, Cuthbert, Statesboro, and so many others demand after seeing their neighbors murdered by law enforcement and racist vigilantes.
Again, we demands our legislative leaders address our continued demands to repeal citizen’s arrest and stand your ground in addition to ensuring that Georgia’s election are fixed by requiring the Secretary of State to do his job.
