It’s #FlashbackFriday and we’re reminiscing about GEEARS’ 9th annual Strolling Thunder, the wintry day when more than 100 Georgia families brought their tiny advocates to meet their elected officials under the Gold Dome.

You can support GEEARS programming like this by attending or sponsoring our Annual Luncheon on September 17th. Learn all about this event—keynoted by Olympic gold medalist @elanameyerstaylor—by clicking the link in our bio.
