While I watch #Debates2020, I'm going to share the ways the issues being discussed relate to my plans for Georgia. #gapol twitter.com/i/events/13186…
"We're not learning to live with it. We're dying."

Cases are climbing back up in Georgia. We need leaders who will provide clear guidance and listen to scientists. #Debates2020 wjcl.com/article/things…
I'm glad to hear them discuss the impact of this pandemic on schools. My glambaby just started school & I'm grateful they're working hard to keep him safe. We need resources to support our students & teachers. My opponent voted to defund education by $1 billion this year. #gapol
I agree with the President that one person shouldn't have unilateral control of how we slow the virus' spread.

Unfortunately in Georgia, Governor Kemp usurped local control to block my own county from following White House guidelines to keep us safe.

Foreign interference remains a threat to our election integrity.

Meanwhile Georgia opted to buy expensive and hackable election machines. I'll advocate for paper ballots like I did on the Board of Elections. #Debates2020

I discussed my fight for paper ballots here 👇🏿
Speaking of campaign donors, I'm proud that my average donation is under $30.

My opponent takes checks from bail bondsmen, tobacco companies, and fossil fuel companies.

I don't take corporate PAC money. My campaign is powered by the people. #Debates2020 #PeoplePower
The GOP is playing politics with our healthcare, and they don't have a real plan.

Instead of expanding Medicaid, my opponent is backs a plan that will cover less people & cost more.

He even supports a work requirement. During an unemployment crisis and pandemic. #Debates2020
Healthcare is a racial justice issue. Medicaid expansion has been shown to close the gap and reduce disparities. #BlackLivesMatter

Georgia has the lowest minimum wage in the country. Raise it.

#FightFor15 #Debates2020
Trump separated families. In Georgia, people in detention centers are having forced hysterectomies.

This is inhumane. My opponent and the Republican Party remained silent. #gapol #Debates2020

I'm a mom of seven and glamma of nine. I've had the talk. Too many times. That's why I march.

#BlackLivesMatter Mokah holding megaphone in a shirt that says Black Lives Mat
Mass incarceration as a tool of systemic racism has caused irreparable harm.

I worked to undo its damage by ending cash bail locally. My opponent sponsored a bill to undo that criminal justice reform. #Debates2020 #EndCashBail

Across the world, politicians bought by fossil fuels companies are selling our children's future.

My opponent receives contributions from the owner of America's dirtiest coal plant. #Debates2020

I'm proud to be endorsed by the @AsianAAF. We need leaders who will celebrate diversity.

Calling entire countries names, from "shithole" to "filthy" is hateful and unacceptable from the President of the United States. #Debates2020
Communities of color suffer the consequences when we refuse to hold big polluters accountable.

This is happening in Georgia, where companies are allowed to dispose of toxic coal ash improperly and hurt our communities.

Environmental justice now.

wastedive.com/news/georgia-c…
There's so much on the line. From racial justice to COVID19, we need leaders who will truly serve the people.

Remember to vote all the way down the ballot. If you live in Georgia State House District 117, I'd be honored to earn your vote. #Debates2020

The path to flipping the Georgia State House runs straight through my district. We can win this, but I need your help to reach every voter in the final days of this campaign.

Here's a thread of how you can help this weekend. #gapol

flagpole.com/news/news-feat…
1. Lit Drop for Athens Area Candidates and Rev. Warnock - we will be partnering with @ReverendWarnock's campaign and other local campaigns to make sure voters know to vote down the whole ballot.

2. #TeamMokah Phonebanking Party - this is a great way to contact voters without leaving your home. We provide a training for new volunteers this Sunday, and can get you set up to make calls whenever is most convenient for you.

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. 

Full statement: medium.com/@mokahforgeorg…
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.

Georgia needs to #ExpandMedicaid.

Studies have shown that this will improve outcomes for people with cancer and reduce racial health disparities.

This is personal for me. #gapol

When I heard of Chadwick Boseman's passing, it hit me hard. My father recently passed due to stage four cancer. Too many people have lost loved ones to this terrible disease, and Black people are disproportionately hurt due to structural inequalities in healthcare & beyond.

My fight for justice for Black lives includes addressing racial health disparities.

In Georgia, we can start by expanding Medicaid, which has been shown to reduce disparities in cancer detection and treatment and improve outcomes for everyone. #gapol #BlackLivesMatter (3/5) A Black hand stitches a piece of fabric.  Text: Medicaid exp

Today, I’m launching my campaign for Georgia State House District 117. My launch will focus on the need for GA to pass a hate crimes law. I wanted to share my thoughts on this issue (THREAD) #UniteAgainstHate #gapol #HateFreeGA
medium.com/@mokahforgeorg…
In the past two years, Georgians have been victims of violent attacks because of their identities. Anthony Gooden Jr. and Marquez Tolbert were burnt with scalding water because they are gay. Maura Binkley was shot and killed in her yoga class for being a woman. #UniteAgainstHate
We’ve faced anti-Semitic vandalism at UGA. In Gainesville, GA, a girl was charged for planning to kill black worshippers in church. This week, 3 members of a white supremacist group were arrested w/ plans to attack minorities, including black & Jewish people. #UniteAgainstHate
