Yay!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the victories of our GCV-endorsed candidates, especially the history-making wins of Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard for the Public Service Commission!

Lowell Ware, a pioneering black newspaper publisher who founded the Atlanta Voice, which Janice still publishes, in print, and in more modern media formats. Their work embodies what journalism is meant to be - observant, honest, and illuminating - may we strive to be so for generations to come.
