Tharon Johnson on defeating Gov. Deal's school takeover plan:

"This is the first win in decades for the 'progressive community' in Georgia. What you saw is all these civil rights folks like Timothy McDonald and others, Mayor Reed and others coming together.

But you also had organizations like Better Georgia, who really utilized their grassroots network to go and win 152 counties in the state."
