Why are we supporting Zan Fort?

Zan is a lifelong Atlanta resident with a long family history of union membership and ties to the Democratic Socialists of America. Zan’s platform includes progressive policies such as:

• A $15 minimum wage
• Medicare for All (pushing to expand Medicaid in GA and protecting the ACA until we can pass Medicare for All federally)
• An extended moratorium on COVID-19 evictions
• Banning violent police practices such as chokeholds, no-knock warrants, and ending qualified immunity.
