*(Atlanta, GA) — Today, more than 15 protestors were arrested at the #CountEveryVote rally in the Georgia State Capitol. Senator Nikema Williams, who was among them, was held in Fulton County Jail for more than six hours before being released just minutes ago.
Senator Williams gave the following statement:
“I showed up at the Capitol today for a special session to take care of the citizens of Georgia. I saw I had constituents protesting for their voices to be heard. There are countless Georgians who cast their ballots and still don’t feel like their voices are heard. I joined them down on the floor, and I was singled out as a Black female senator standing in the rotunda with constituents.
“I’m incredibly proud and will continue to stand with the citizens of Georgia to demand that their votes be counted.”
