ACLU of GA
Dear ACLU of Georgia Supporter,
 

 

I would like to invite all of you to join us at our next "By the People Day" program.  We will meet next Tuesday, February 7, 2012, at 9 am in Room 605 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building, 18 Capitol Square Southwest, Atlanta, GA 30334, located across the street from the south end of the State Capitol. 

We will be focused on LGBT rights and will be joined by Georgia Equality to promote the passage of HB 630.  HB 630 would amend state law to prohibit discrimination in public employment based on sexual orientation and gender expression.
 
Nearby parking is available in the Pete Hackney parking deck, located at the corner of Jesse Hill Jr. Drive and Decatur Street, and the Underground Atlanta parking deck, located two blocks west of the Capitol on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.  The closest MARTA station is the Georgia State Station located in the Sloppy Floyd/Twin Towers complex.
 
As you know, freedom cannot protect itself. Your presence is essential to ensuring a government that is accountable to its People and to the Constitution.
 
Thank you for participating in this worthwhile endeavor.

 
Sincerely,

 

 

Chad Brock

 

Lobbyist
