With more than 700 members statewide, GABEO’s main focus is on developing programs which will provide deterrents to violence and crime among youth; promoting voter registration, education and participation; forming literacy programs to battle the growing problem of illiteracy in the state; securing economic parity for all Georgians; preserving minority voting strength; and removing the divisive Confederate emblem from the Georgia state flag. GABEO often works in conjunction with the NAACP, SCLC, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, the Coalition for a Peoples Agenda and the National Youth Connection on issues vital to the community.

      GABEO has come a long way in three decades of service and leadership, and there is still a long way to go. In the words of Tyrone Brooks: "We’ve enjoyed more than three decades of public service. ‘Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now !’ "
