GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past ten years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

On this GivingTuesday we ask that you consider supporting the Atlanta Press Club by donating to our GivingTuesday campaign. APC's mission is to serve the evolving professional, educational and social needs of our media community, foster journalistic excellence and advance the public’s interest in and understanding of a free press.

Support for the professional needs of Atlanta’s media community is more important now than ever before. Good journalism serves our nation; it ensures the checks and balances that keep our institutions strong.

We ask you to help the Atlanta Press Club support journalism by making a one-time donation or setting up a reoccurring donation today. You’ll be doing more than just donating—your contribution will serve as a reminder to all that JOURNALISM MATTERS.

We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you!

It says it all when a person running for the office of Senator cannot or won't attend the last debate of the race. He is supposed to be running for the people but the people are being denied what he has to say and what he plans to do during what could be his term in office. Did it hit too close to home for him what Ossoff said in the last debate, too scared he may be shown up and what is shown the people won't like. Would rather team up with the likes of Loeffler and just look at what her and her husband did, bought and sold on the Stock Market, (her hubby is the CEO of the company that owns it) right after the meeting Trump had where he was told of the Virus. Is what the people of Georgia would really vote for to represent them in the Senate.

My Lord, I pray not.
trump is trying to suppress the democrats votes across the country we need everyone to vote in person asap Joe Biden thanks
How about a debate with our Congressional District 11 candidates too?
Seems like there's some discrimination going on here...
I unequivocally support Carolyn Bourdeaux! Her exceptional background in public policy making and public health will put District 7 and the US Congress on a path to a progressive, competent government!
