A new report from GALEO details engagement and trends among Georgia’s Latino voters in 2024. Kyle Gomez-Leineweber, director of public policy and advocacy for GALEO, discusses key findings from the report and explains how the Latino electorate could potentially impact future elections. 

Plus, a new report from The Sentencing Project finds one in six people incarcerated in the U.S. are serving life sentences, a record high even as crime rates reach record lows. Celeste Barry, a program associate at The Sentencing Project and an author of the report, shares key findings and policy recommendations to address "excessive punishment." She also discusses how Georgia's statistics compare to the nation and other states.
