Our Purpose

Our Purpose

We came together to make our support visible.

Real Men for Keisha began with men who chose to stand publicly with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. Women have stood with us in our families, communities, and public life. Now we have a responsibility to stand with a woman whose leadership we believe in. We will do that with our voices, our votes, and our actions. Everyone who shares that commitment is welcome here.

Why we formed

Support takes more than words.

We did not want our support to stop at a statement. A campaign needs resources, votes, and people willing to speak up. We went to Mayor Bottoms’s campaign with a plan, brought supporters together at Priví Stonecrest on September 26, and helped raise funds through the campaign’s donation process. As of September 28, the campaign reported $22,865 in contributions toward our $50,000 goal.

That night showed what happens when people turn belief into action. We want people across Georgia and beyond to hear Mayor Bottoms for themselves, consider her plans, and find a way to take part. Everyone is welcome to stand with us.

Why the record matters

Let people hear the answer.

A repeated claim can become the story before people hear an answer. We will not leave Mayor Bottoms’s record to be defined by repetition alone. Voters deserve to hear her response, examine the evidence, and make their own judgment. Our role is to help make that possible.

The reel shared by Tyrese responds to claims about Mayor Bottoms’s leadership during the 2020 protests, public safety challenges, and the pandemic. It points to Atlanta’s budgets, reserves, and housing work. We share it because the response deserves to be heard and its claims deserve to be examined. Watch it, ask questions, and look at the record for yourself.

What we did

We turned support into action.

At Priví Stonecrest, the host committee brought people into the room to hear Mayor Bottoms and put resources behind her campaign.

The fundraiser is one part of our work. We will keep showing up, sharing what we learn, and inviting others to act with us. Standing with a leader means staying engaged after the room empties.
