GEORGIA DEMOCRACY TASK FORCE
The non-partisan Georgia Democracy Task Force is an extension of the American Bar Association’s Task Force for American Democracy.
Established in February 2024 and committed to acting on the next steps identified at the ABA Task Force's listening session in Atlanta, we are hard at work, activating our network of legal professionals to fulfill their unique obligation to protect election integrity in Georgia by upholding the rule of law and reminding other lawyers of their oath-bound duty to do the same.
