En lenguaje claro
This House resolution recognizes January 29, 2026 as Strolling Thunder Day at the Georgia state capitol. It does not change any law; it is a ceremonial statement by the House of Representatives. The resolution cites statistics about early childhood in Georgia, including that nearly 640,000 children under age 5 live in the state, about one in five live in poverty, and one in ten babies are born with low birthweight. It credits the nonprofit Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students (GEEARS) with organizing Strolling Thunder, an event where families bring young children to the capitol to speak with lawmakers about early childhood issues. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and the press.
