Our Revolution Athens Area Progressives

Our Revolution Athens Area Progressives held its first meeting Saturday, Aug. 18 2018.

Finding its origins two years ago as a part of commissioner Mariah Parker’s and activist Tommy Valentine’s commission campaigns, Our Revolution’s local chapter officially broke off from the campaigns this June to continue on as a political force in elections to come.

Our Revolution’s first meeting saw members of the organization meet with officers to discuss plans for the upcoming campaign season and what would become the ideals and aspirations of the organization.

Hosted at co-founder and District 2 Commissioner Mariah Parker’s home, some 12 members met in the living room over bagels and conversation before the meeting kicked off.

In Athens at least, the Democratic Party has already proven open to collaboration with Our Revolution, with recently elected Gabriel Shippy, Athens-Clarke County Democratic Party’s community engagement chair, in attendance as a member.

“I think it’s great that we have crossover between [[[Our Revolution]] and ACCDP],” Shippy said. “I look forward to seeing us working together for the election and what’s to come.”

Athens PRIDE

Gabriel Shippy June 28 ·

I attended a beautiful event this evening hosted by Athens PRIDE and the Athens-Clarke County Democrats at Heidi Hensley Art Gallery.

50 years after Stonewall there is still much work to be done before full equality and security for the LGBTQ community is achieved.

As an unwavering ally, I will continue to do my part by working relentlessly for a society in which acceptance, freedom and equality are the norm, rather than the exception. This group of people gives me optimism that the hope will become a reality. — attending Remembering Stonewall: 50 Years Later with Cameron Harrelson, Robby Bailey, Kyle Kizziah, Leanne Purdum and Jim Taflinger at Heidi Hensley Art.
