Georgians for Sunday Sales, a grassroots, nonpartisan organization, will
held a press conference and rally on Wednesday, February 23 at 12 pm on the Capitol Steps (Washington Street side) to urge passage of a bill to allow local communities to decide whether local retailers should sell alcohol on Sunday.
The Libertarian Party of Georgia's longstanding support to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages seven days a week led to their participation in the coalition. Executive Director Brett Bittner was invited to join the speakers to address the individual liberty aspect of local control.
Georgia is one of only three states in the country that does not provide some option for the off-premise sale of beer, wine, or liquor on Sunday. Because Georgia is the only state in the Southeast with a total ban on Sunday sales, we are at a distinct economic disadvantage. For many Georgians, the current law defies common sense.
