Georgians For Choice is a prominent organization based in Atlanta, GA, dedicated to advocating for reproductive justice. They go beyond the scope of reproductive rights by addressing social justice issues and focusing on four key principles: the right to bodily autonomy, the right to have children, the right to not have children, and the right to parent children in safe and healthy environments. Their work aims to uplift marginalized communities, particularly Black and Brown birthing individuals, and dismantle the barriers they face in accessing reproductive healthcare.
One of the key fights taken up by Georgians For Choice is the opposition to Cop City, also known as the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. This mega police training facility, set to be constructed in the Weelaunee Forest, has faced significant resistance from community members, abolitionists, environmentalists, and organizers against police brutality. The organization highlights the environmental justice aspect of this issue, emphasizing the importance of preserving the forest for the well-being of future generations and combating the climate crisis. They also emphasize the negative impact of an overly policed state on the right to bodily autonomy and the ability to parent in safe communities.
