  • More than 50 people gathered on the Capitol steps today to protest state lawmakers' inability to pass popular legislation that could pave the way for Sunday alcohol sales. <br />
<br />
"Sunday sales is no different than the imam wanting sharia law in place," Shayna M. Steinfeld, one of the event's speakers, told the crowd. <br />
<br />
Senate Republican leadership decided in a closed-door meeting last week not to bring Senate Bill 10, which would allow local communities to vote on the controversial issue, to the floor for a vote. Pressure from conservative Christians and fears over how a "yea" vote might impact their political careers apparently convinced lawmakers not to push the measure. <br />

  • Atlanta, GA-April 5, 2011: More than 100 protesters led by seven young people brought to the United States as young children -- and who were later arrested after blocking traffic in protest -- marched through downtown Atlanta to raise awareness about undocumented youths.<br />
<br />
After a rally in Hurt Park near Georgia State University, protesters delivered a letter to the school's admissions office which asked GSU officials not to comply with a ban on undocumented immigrants that takes effect this fall. <br />
<br />
The Georgia Board of Regents in October voted to prohibit undocumented students from attending five of the state's most selective colleges...After delivering the letter to surprised admissions officials, the hundreds-strong crowd marched and chanted "Education, not deportation," "Undocumented and unafraid" and "Education, not segregation.".<br />
<br />
The seven undocumented youths then unfurled banners and sat in the middle of Courtland Street, blocking traffic for close to an hour before they were all arrested. Late Tuesday evening, U.S. Customs and Immigration enforcement officials were reportedly determining whether the arrested students would face deportation.<br />
<br />
"I am doing this for my family, for my brothers and sisters," said Dayanna Rebolledo, a 21-year-old factory worker and student who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 9 years old. "We are undocumented and unafraid. We are standing up for those undocumented who are afraid and who are in the shadows. We are risking everything to give our community a chance."

It was a roller coaster of emotions last night at the Georgia Capitol. Hundreds of Troy Davis supporters gathered for a vigil with a glimmer of hope that Davis would be granted clemency before his execution, which was scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Butts County. Supporters braced themselves for the announcement of his execution. But by 7:05 p.m., rumors began to spread that Davis had been granted a stay. Hours passed with no announcement as to Davis' fate and the crowd at the Capitol started to think that his life might be spared. Those hopes were crushed when it was announced around 10:30 p.m. that Davis' execution by the state would move forward.

The bill will outlaw abortions after 20 weeks, the point at which bill sponsors say evidence suggests fetuses can begin feeling pain. The "fetal pain bill" passed in a slightly less intrusive form that makes concessions for pregnancies in which the fetus is not viable outside the womb. It does not, however, make concessions for victims of rape or incest.

The Black Lives Matter rally, which was sponsored by the Georgia chapter National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, started with speeches from prominent members of the community at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Following the speeches, citizens by the hundreds blocked city streets in protest of the recent police involved shootings of two African American males. After returning to the museum, a group of hundreds of protestors broke off and headed toward the entrance of the interstate. Police met the protestors and stood their ground for hours.<br />
