Senator Kim Jackson is set to hold a press conference on Monday, February 3, at the Georgia State Capitol to discuss Senate Bill 41. This bill aims to prevent gender-based discrimination in interscholastic and intramural sports within local school systems.
The event, which will take place at 11:15 a.m. on the South Steps of the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta, is open to the public. The media is encouraged to confirm attendance by contacting Jantz Womack via email.
"My ‘Equal Opportunities for Girls in Sports Act’ (SB 41) has been officially introduced in the Senate as of yesterday morning," stated Senator Jackson. "I bring this bill before Georgians as a call to action to address the continuing inequities in middle and high school girls’ athletics. We invite women around the state to join us in supporting our female athletes at the Capitol on Monday, February 3rd at 11:15 a.m. for a press conference. Let's fill the South Steps with women advocating for real solutions to real problems in girls’ sports."
Senator Jackson represents the 41st Senate District, covering parts of DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. She serves as Democratic Caucus Whip and can be contacted for more information or media inquiries.
