Registering to vote is the first step to supporting working women in Georgia.  After you are registered, ask yourself these questions when reviewing the candidates to see if they will advocate for working women and their families in our state.

Does this candidate support...

• paid sick days for all workers?
• more accessible and affordable family medical leave?
• job-protected leave to attend children's school conferences and medical appointments to care for elderly parents?
• stronger protection against workplace discrimination?
• stronger saftey net programs that support families moving towards self-sufficiency?
• family-supporting jobs with decent wages, family health care and family flexible policies?
