I jumped into activism because a bar in downtown Athens thought it was acceptable to put a drink name with a racial slur on the menu.

Last night, I encountered the same brazen, racist hate again.

I know some people will not accept me or vote for me, just because I am Black. Some of my future constituents may think of me as nigger. But I am not afraid of this. I will not allow hate to stop me from standing up, from speaking out on issues that shape this community.

For months, I’ve been fighting back against racist and deceitful smear campaigns run by my opposition and his allies...I have asked my opponent to set the record straight and condemn these attacks from his supporters, but he has remained silent.

Join me at the UGA Arch this Saturday at 12 p.m. for a rally to Stand Up To Racism. Let’s be clear that we will not accept vicious, hate-filled attacks in our community. Instead, we will continue to unite against hate, because the fight is not over.

I believe we deserve a leader who will prioritize human lives over monuments. A leader who doesn’t allow fuel to be added to the fire of division and hatred. A leader who will stand up to hate directed at the people they represent. #gapol
