Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We endeavor to close opportunity gaps, reduce health disparities, and protect consumers’ hard-earned income. We advocate for policies that lower the energy burden on struggling families, open doors to the financial mainstream, improve access to healthcare, and increase financial security. We educate consumers so they know their rights and are able to seek redress in a civil court of law when they’ve been harmed in the marketplace. We also equip and inspire communities to advocate for their own best interests. In all that we do, we work to ensure equitable outcomes and justice for Georgia consumers.
