No plans tonight? You have options!

AthChat is hosting the mayoral runoff debate between Tim Denson, Mayor of Athens-Clarke County Candidate and Dexter Fisher for Mayor at the Morton Theatre at 5 pm. Early voting begins June 8th!

Representative Eric Gisler For Georgia is also hosting a listening session at Cali N Tito's (east side) from 5 to 7 pm. If you live on the east side of Athens, you likely live in Eric's district - Georgia House 121.

Hope you can make it to one of them!

Thank you to everyone who came to our meeting last night! We heard from local runoff candidates, discussed our plans for the special session in the legislature next month, and wrote postcards that will be sent out as voting reminders for ACC residents.

If you are interested in some volunteer opportunities discussed tonight, such as tabling at Pride and Hot Corner, or canvassing your neighborhood for the runoff, please message us or email [email protected]. We’d love to have you!
