SUMMARY: The “We Give A Shirt” campaign, started in 2020 by Wier/Stewart and Showpony, is back after five years to support local businesses and charities in Augusta, Ga. Initially launched during the pandemic to aid small bars and restaurants, it raised about $200,000. Now redesigned with new colors, the campaign offers five t-shirt designs every two weeks, with $10 from each $25 sale benefiting one of five charities: Friends of Francis, Children’s Hospital of Georgia, Habitat for Humanity, Apparo Academy, and First Tee of Augusta. Shirts feature local businesses like Luigi’s and Nacho Mama’s and are sold online with limited-time availability and minimum order requirements.

SUMMARY: Georgia is canceling nearly half a million voter registrations as part of a routine cleanup to maintain accurate voter rolls. The Secretary of State’s office began mailing letters to 478,000 inactive voters, who have 40 days to respond or risk removal. This is required by federal and state law and targets those inactive for over four years due to reasons like moving out of state or returned mail. Voting rights groups, including the ACLU, call it a purge, warning it could disenfranchise eligible voters, particularly younger, lower-income, or mobile residents. Georgia currently has about 8.25 million registered voters.

Nearly half a million voter registrations in Georgia are about to be cancelled. The Georgia Secretary of the state’s office began mailing out letters to hundreds of thousands of voters. If you get one the clock is ticking to stay on the voter rolls. It’s one of the largest cancellations of voter registrations in history.
