ATLANTA, Ga. /Massachusetts Newswire – National News/ Despite the ongoing efforts of many leaders to suppress the voices of Georgia residents, Black and Brown voters turned out in record numbers, electing the most diverse leadership in the state’s history. Last week, the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples’ Agenda’s women’s network, Georgia Black Women’s Roundtable (BWR), took a short break from their fight against archaic voter suppression laws to recognize the historic leadership of local Black women during a virtual event, “Celebrating Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.”
“Black women have worked extremely hard over the past year to make sure every eligible voter was able to cast a ballot that counted without fear or intimidation,” said Helen Butler, executive director of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples’ Agenda. “We wanted to take a moment to recognize the impact their service has had on our community, locally and nationally.”
