Employment Discrimination
BACKGROUND & CURRENT STATUS
Georgia Equality has successfully ensured the passage of Employment Non-discrimination ordinances for employees of Savannah, East Point, Clarkston, Doraville, Atlanta, Athens-Clarke County, Decatur, DeKalb and Fulton Counties, and Grady Health System. We are working to expand these protections to more municipalities across the state, using these victories as momentum for passing a state-wide employment non-discrimination law.
