Racial gap for COVID vaccinations narrowing in Georgia

AJC, J. Scott Trubey, Feb. 4, 2022

• The New Georgia Project, a nonpartisan voter registration group founded nearly a decade ago by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, has added vaccinations to its outreach efforts. NGP, which often partners with faith groups, offers health screenings, COVID-19 testing and shots through partner organizations at many of its events.

• These events often start the conversations about vaccination, said Brandt Lewis, director of NGP’s vaccination program, and NGP follows up with mailers and texts to help people schedule shots.
