The Georgia Black Legislative Caucus says it’s time for the state to create protections against discrimination in housing and employment at the state level.  

Lawmakers and advocates unveiled their priorities under the Gold Dome on Monday, intentionally timed to coincide with the start of Black History Month.

The priorities are broken down into six areas: Health, housing, education, wealth, advocacy and, lastly, public safety and justice reform.
