Partnering for Power: Preparing for the 2025 Elections + Beyond

Many Georgia voters don't understand the powerful role of the statewide Public Service Commission (PSC), and that lack of information leads to low voter turnout.

Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL) is co-hosting an informational session with Fair Count, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) on Sept. 30 to help change that because the biggest problem in any election isn't just getting people to vote—it's making sure they know what they're voting for.

Join us to learn more about the role and importance of the PSC, upcoming outreach plans, and opportunities to truly empower other voters in your community.
