ABOUT US

Presbyterians for a Better Georgia is a movement dedicated to making a better future for all Georgians. Founded in 1999, we have worked for impactful policy changes around increasing access to healthcare and housing. We hold our leaders accountable while educating and empowering others to take action.

We hold events and forums to educate our communities while also communicating action alerts to our members during the legislative session. What brings us together is our dedication toward our common goals: healthcare and housing for everyone in Georgia. We can’t do it without your help. Sign up for the newsletter, attend an event or donate to the cause and see how you can increase our impact.
