Politically Georgia

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s

Politically Georgia podcast, Seneca Project co-founder Tara Stemayer joins the podcast

to discuss the organization’s bi-partisan effort to motivate women in swing

states to turn out to vote. They look at Kamala Harris’ visit to Atlanta today

where she’ll highlight the numbers of women who have died or had medical

emergencies when strict abortion laws like Georgia’s have prevented them from

getting care.

Then, Yana Batra joins the podcast to

discuss the planned walkout of students in schools across Georgia as they call

of stricter gun safety laws in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Apalachee

High School in Barrow County.

And later, the hosts answer questions

from the Politically Georgia listener mailbag and give their choices for who’s

up and who’s down this week.
