Georgia Advancing Communities Together

Georgia ACT is proud to uplift this important announcement from our member, Housing Justice League, in partnership with the Legal Defense Fund’s Thurgood Marshall Institute.

Join the launch webinar for “Locked Up, Locked Out: The Racialized Cycle of Criminalization and Homelessness” on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 12:30 PM ET.

Housing is a human need, and too many people are pushed into cycles of housing instability, criminalization, and barriers to reentry. This conversation will help make plain how policy, systems, and community action can move us toward housing solutions rooted in dignity and justice.
