Why We’re Voting for Peter Hubbard — NOT Keisha Waites

Sometimes it’s important to say things plainly.

Keisha Sean Waites has run for public office at least 20 times in the past 23 years.

That’s not a typo — twenty campaigns in twenty-three years.

And here’s the pattern: when she wins, she quits.

• She won a seat in the Georgia House in 2012. She quit that job in 2017 to run for something else.

• She won an At-Large seat on the Atlanta City Council in 2021. She quit in 2024 — mid-term — to run for a different office again.

• Now, she’s running for yet another position — this time for Public Service Commissioner.

This is not public service. It’s self-promotion.

And in times like these — when corporate power is running roughshod over working families, when our utility bills keep climbing, and when Georgia’s Public Service Commission desperately needs real accountability — we need someone who will stay the course and fight for us.

That’s why we’re voting for Peter Hubbard in the PSC Democratic Special Primary Runoff on Tuesday, July 15, 2025 — and we urge you to do the same.

Important Election Details — READ THIS:

Because turnout was so low in the original June 17 primary — fewer than 1% of voters in Cherokee County cast a Democratic ballot — there will only be ONE polling place open on election day:

📍 Canton City Hall, 110 Academy Street, Canton

Election Day: Tuesday, July 15, 2025 — Polls open 7:00 am to 7:00 pm

✅ Who can vote in the Runoff:

• If you did not vote at all in the June 17 election — you CAN vote on July 15.

• If you voted with a Democratic ballot on June 17 — you CAN vote again on July 15.

• If you voted Republican on June 17 — you CANNOT vote in this runoff.

🗳️ Early Voting:

July 7 to July 11, 2025 — 8:30 am to 5:00 pm

Two early voting locations:

1. Cherokee County Elections Office, 193 Lamar Haley Parkway, Canton

2. South Cherokee Annex Recreation Center, 7545 Main Street, Bldg. 200, Woodstock (drop box available)

📬 Absentee Ballots:

Deadline to request: July 7, 2025

Visit cherokeegavotes.com or call 770-479-0407 for info.

Bottom line: We need a Public Service Commissioner who will show up, serve the full term, and fight for everyday Georgians — not someone using the office as a stepping stone.

Vote for Peter Hubbard. July 15, 2025. Bring a friend.

Woodstock Showed Up for NO KINGS. And the Whole Country Felt It.

Yesterday, 3,000 to 4,000 of us took to the streets of Woodstock to say: No Kings. No Violence. No Arrests. No Property Damage. Just Power.

The only incident police reported was a minor scuffle between one of ours and a counter-protester—an incident that could’ve been avoided if our folks had stuck to the plan: don’t engage, move away, call 911. Otherwise? We showed up focused, peaceful, and united. We looked good—and the city saw it.

Chief Robert Jones coordinating with one of Indivisible Woodstock CAN's leaders to protect the public.

Law enforcement told us directly: they were very happy with our group. They know our members follow safety guidance. The real risk, they said, comes from outsiders who don’t know our rules—or don’t care.

As for the counter-protesters: they weren’t exactly friendly, but as far as we’re aware, most didn’t cross serious lines. That’s their right. Just like it was ours to show up stronger.

About the businesses

Let’s set the record straight:

✅ No vandalism. No blocked doors. No threats.

✅ Police received zero complaints of that kind.

A few businesses saw traffic slow slightly during peak hours. But where things really dropped? It was almost always MAGA hecklers causing the problem—not our people.

Others used the moment to shine:

• Partner’s Pizza handed out samples and saw it as great publicity.

• Spirited supported the protest without hesitation.

• Truck & Tap stayed open with no issues.

Meanwhile, MAGA-aligned individuals were leaning on buildings, crowding entrances, and visibly carrying concealed weapons in fanny packs. So if you hear spin about “business impact,” ask who’s talking—and what they’re really trying to say.

We believe future events can create more opportunity for local businesses—especially those willing to engage, not antagonize.

About those shirts…

We handed out about 40 shirts on the honor system, asking folks to donate $15 or more. Only one donation came in.

We get it—things were busy. But every dollar makes a difference.

If you forgot to chip in—or want to help power what comes next—please donate here: 🔗 https://www.woodstockcan.com/donate

These events don’t fund themselves. Permits, first aid, water, signage—it all adds up, and it’s 100% community-powered.

✅ Just 25¢ from everyone would cover the shirts.

✅ $5 or $10 helps fund the next big protest.

Want to get more involved?

We had at least six people come up after the protest asking how to join in. If that’s you—now’s the time.

We’re moving to a new system to organize trainings and volunteer teams, and we need every current volunteer to resubmit their info so we can keep you in the loop.

We’ll train you, support you, and have your back every step of the way.

We’re proud of what we did together. We’re proud of our discipline. And we’re proud to say: this was just the beginning.

What Should I Put on My Sign for No Kings?

A lot of folks have asked us: What kind of signs should we bring to the No Kings protest?

So we pulled together some ideas.

These aren’t just slogans. They’re truths. They speak to what we’re fighting—abuse of power, stolen tax dollars, vanishing rights—and what we’re standing for: liberty, accountability, and a government that works for the people. Use them as-is, remix them, or let them inspire your own.

📍 EVENT DETAILS: No Kings in Woodstock – We Took the Same Oath

📅 Saturday, June 14

🕑 2:00–4:00 PM ET

📍 Downtown Woodstock, GA (Exact location will be shared after RSVP)

🔗 RSVP here: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/789016/

Trump wants a military parade. We’re giving him a history lesson.

On the same day he spends millions in tax dollars to celebrate himself with tanks and flags, we’ll be in the streets reclaiming the true legacy of June 14: the day we stood up to a king.

This is a peaceful, highly visible sidewalk protest. There will be speakers—including veterans—signs, chants, flags, and a united front against authoritarianism and billionaire corruption.

What to Bring

• Wear red, white, and blue

• Bring water, sunscreen, and a sign

• Veterans and service members are encouraged to wear military attire

• Absolutely no weapons (even permitted ones)

This event is for everyone who took the oath—or lives by the spirit of it. If you’re ready to say enough, join us.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

We’re not spectators. We’re the story.
