The Girl with the Louding Voice, by Abi Dare
Thursday, January 28th, 10:00 AM
“The girl with the louding voice is a character for the ages.

OTHER GREAT THINGS TO DO

HELP GET OUT THE VOTE IN GEORGIA!
Every Monday, 2:00 PM, until January 4th
In support of Black Lives Matter, GNPS has been working with Reclaim Our Vote (ROV), 
a volunteer-driven, nonpartisan voter-outreach campaign led by the
Center for Common Ground of Virginia. ROV is dedicated to empowering under-represented voters in
communities of color by increasing voter registration and reducing the barriers to voting.
We are now calling non-registered voters in Georgia to help them to register,
and then we will call to urge all Georgians to vote in the run-off election for the US Senate in January.
See further information and register on the Calendar Events & Sign Up.
