Your community is on the ballot. 🗳️

Voting isn’t just about the names you hear the most. The people elected to local and state offices help make decisions about laws, budgets and public resources that affect our communities — including the criminal legal system.

From courts and corrections to reentry resources, schools, youth programs and community services, your vote is one way to have a say in the decisions that shape where you live.

📅 Georgia’s voter registration deadline is Monday, October 5.

It’s National Voter Registration Day! 🗳️ And your record may not mean what you think it means for your right to vote.

In Georgia, if you’re serving a felony First Offender Act or Conditional Discharge sentence and your status has not been revoked, you can vote — even before your sentence is complete.

GJP Davidson Impact Fellow, Jalyssa Hobbs, breaks down what you need to know and why your vote matters beyond the names at the top of the ballot. The people elected to state and local offices make decisions that can directly affect our communities and our everyday lives.

Know your rights. Register. Use your voice.

Georgia Justice Project mourns the passing of Rev. Dr. Joanna Moseley Adams, whose faith, leadership, and commitment to justice were essential to GJP’s founding and growth.

In the early 1980s, while serving at Central Presbyterian Church, Joanna challenged her congregation to respond to poverty and homelessness in Atlanta. Her preaching provided the pastoral encouragement and theological provocation that inspired attorney John Pickens to use his vocation in service of justice, a calling that ultimately led him to leave corporate law and establish Georgia Justice Project in 1986.

But Joanna’s commitment didn’t stop there. For decades, she remained a fierce and loyal supporter of GJP’s work of justice, rehabilitation, and redemption. She chaired fundraising efforts, encouraged her congregations to give their time and resources, and helped open doors that brought GJP credibility and stability during its earliest years. Her husband, Al, has also carried that commitment forward through decades of board service and volunteerism.

As we celebrate GJP’s 40th anniversary, we are especially grateful for Joanna’s extraordinary place in our story. Her impact is simply too immense to count.

We extend our deepest condolences to Al, her family, friends, congregations, and the countless people and communities touched by her life and ministry.

Last week, our interns and staff visited the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum in Montgomery, where history challenges us to confront the lasting impact of slavery, racial injustice, and mass incarceration in America.

At Georgia Justice Project, we believe understanding our history is essential to creating a more just future. Experiences like these deepen our commitment to removing barriers, expanding opportunity, and walking alongside the people and communities we serve.

Beginning July 1, HB 162 will modernize Georgia’s First Offender Act, marking an important step toward expanding second chances for eligible individuals across the state.
The new law automatically seals eligible First Offender records at sentencing, helping reduce barriers to employment, housing, education, and other opportunities while ensuring the First Offender Act functions as intended.
To help attorneys, judges, clerks, service providers, and impacted individuals prepare for these changes, we created a dedicated HB 162 Updates & Resources page featuring:
• Frequently Asked Questions
• Educational guides
• Attorney resources
• Pro se (self-help) materials
• Sample motions and forms
