Sponsor: The Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys
Participants: Females ages 12 - 16 charged with only mild to moderate offenses
Details:Mentors and participants meet from 10 a.m. to noon every second and fourth Saturday of each month at the Juvenile Court Building. For the first time, mentors in the 2007 cycle will be paired in teams to give each girl more attention and to offer mentors opportunities to share the experience. Mentors are not limited to attorneys, but are diverse in profession, background and ethnicity. This mentoring opportunity includes off-site enrichment activities. For example, in 2006 the girls had an opportunity to visit the courtroom and chambers of Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Leah Sears, and have been invited to return.

Now is the time to act on the budget

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
