Sisters for Civics is a strong and growing coalition dedicated to ensuring that Black, LatinX, Native, and AAPI women and girls are seen and heard in our shared civic life.
Vision
Through partnerships with communities in Middle and South Georgia, our goal is to expand the opportunities for women of color to organize and take action, especially in rural communities.
Action
Fair Count, a nonpartisan nonprofit, founded Sisters for Civics as part of its commitment to building long-term power, because real civic power is a long game. As leaders, partners, mothers, sisters, and daughters, it’s our turn to lead the charge for change.
Community
Your passion for creating a vibrant civic ecosystem in the South has already helped to turn systematic breakdowns into opportunities to build prosperity and progress for all. Imagine how much change that power could effect when it’s combined into a collective of empowered women.
"Democracy is stronger when it’s equitable and all eligible voters have fair access. We will show the world — we’re here to stay."

Additional Opportunities to Stay Civically Engaged
Founded in 2019 and anchored in Georgia, Fair Count works to build long-term power in communities that have been historically undercounted in the decennial census, underrepresented at the polls, and whose communities are often torn apart in redistricting.
Fair Count is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to partnering with Historically Undercounted Populations (HUP) to achieve a fair and accurate count of all people in Georgia and the nation in the 2020 Census, and to strengthening the pathways to greater civic participation.
