“One of the biggest mistakes that people make is to say, ‘My vote doesn’t count.’ Your vote does count. And if we want to do better, you better vote. My vote is precious. And that’s why I always take the time to try to find out who are the candidates... what are they saying that protects my interests and advances my welfare and the people around me who I care about.”

During a fireside chat for The Abigails Speaker Series, educator, activist, and former Mayor of Savannah Dr. Otis S. Johnson reminded us why showing up at the ballot box matters in every election—local, state, and national.

What happens when a young person ages out of foster care—and what community solutions actually change their odds?

At our inaugural Abigails After Hours, we welcomed Kate Blair, Executive Director of Brightside Child & Family Advocacy, for an essential conversation on supporting local youth as they transition out of foster care.

In Chatham County, 1 in 5 young people age out of foster care with no permanent family—nearly double the statewide rate. Across Georgia, 1 in 5 will experience homelessness within a single year, and 1 in 4 enter the justice system within two years.

Kate shared how Georgia’s FOSTERING SUCCESS TAX CREDIT PROGRAM can make an impact: Taxpayers can redirect state taxes they already owe directly to Brightside’s Brighter Futures program for a 100% tax credit—ensuring every dollar stays local to help young people stay housed and finish school.

Thank you to Kate and the Brightside team for educating us and leading vital advocacy for Savannah’s youth.

"Thank you to The Abigails! The Emergency Clothing Closet you created supports vulnerable foster youth with dignity and care." — Kate Blair, Executive Director

When a child enters foster care, they often arrive with little more than the clothes they're wearing. The Abigails members created and maintain the Emergency Clothing Closet at the Brightside office so children can choose new clothing that fits them and feels like their own.
Thank you, Kate and the Brightside team, for the work you do every day for local children and families. Learn more about Brightside at www.brightsideadvocacy.org, and see how you can get involved with The Abigails at www.theabigails.org
