A Facebook group page for ReOpen GA is also available. At this time, the page has over 20,000 members. In a description for ReOpen GA are details explaining the reasons for the need to reopen the state.

ReOpen GA notes the lack of warrant or sustainability for losing so many small businesses. Furthermore, the group points out that individuals who are more vulnerable to coronavirus can “[isolate] or [protect] in other ways” without ruining Georgia’s economy.

An excerpt from the group’s description reads as follows:

“We are residents of Georgia that stand for The Constitution and demand our officials Reopen GA no later than May 1, 2020. We are losing our small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy. The shutdown is not warranted, nor sustainable for our area.”

The Rise of Protests Against State Lockdowns

Georgia is not the first state to protest lockdowns and they won’t be the last. The reality here is that Americans are ready to get back to work. Governors and other elected officials will have to start listening to the people. Right now, elected leaders have lost the consent of the governed; that isn’t good and it’s a clear sign that shutdowns aren’t working.
