Month: May 2024

      Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects thousands of individuals across the country. It can impact multiple parts of the body and cause severe internal damage. There isn’t a cure for this disease, and it imposes a significant emotional and financial toll on family members of people with Lupus. The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) Georgia Chapter supports everyone affected by this issue. The organization offers assistance to those in need through various channels. May is Lupus Awareness Month, and the organization has planned activities for the rest of the month to allow locals to show their support for the Lupus community.

     U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Miami) and U.S. Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-California), are sponsoring The High School Voter Empowerment Act, which would allow public high schools to be used as voter registration sites, hoping to boost young people’s voting participation and civic engagement.

     But this is not a dream. This is our reality. It’s a call to action for us to remain vigilant, informed, and united. We must remember our history, honor our struggles, and continue to fight for justice and equality. Our families have endured and continue to suffer too much for us to forget the principles they fought for and the likeness of those they fought against.
