Last action March 19, 2026 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution commends Cassandra Loftlin, a Savannah based community advocate, for her work in agriculture, environmental justice, and food access programs.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Cassandra Loftlin. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it recognizes her work as Healthy Communities Coordinator with Savannah Riverkeeper, Board Chair of Fresh Future Farm, and Co-Founder of Goodness Gracious Grocery, a food access cooperative operating in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The resolution ties her recognition to the broader context of Georgia Women in Agriculture's 9th Annual Women in Agriculture Day, held March 25, 2026 at the Georgia State Capitol. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for presentation to Loftlin as a formal token of appreciation.
