We're not one for alarmism, but we need to call attention to this New York Times story — and we’re about to ask you to make a contribution to help Fair Fight increase our reach and impact to win more elections in 2024 and beyond:

“Some of the state’s most prominent grass-roots organizers — those responsible for engineering President Biden’s victory in 2020 and that of two Democratic U.S. senators in 2021 — are growing concerned that efforts and attention are waning four years later. The national money that once flowed freely from Democratic groups to help win pivotal Senate contests in Georgia has been slow in coming.”

Record-breaking turnout and historic wins in 2020, 2021, and 2022 came from Georgians exercising their collective power after long-term investment in local organizing and capacity building.
Unlike in recent years, 2024 will be the first major election Georgia has seen without a statewide contest. Combined with a nationwide donor shortfall, we’re dealing with a significant resource gap, and Georgia organizers — and Georgia voters — will lack the resources we need to continue to build our power.
Building a winning movement requires year-round support and investment — and the time for that investment is now.
We need to build power in Georgia ahead of the 2024 elections. Chip in $20 to help close the gap.
People underestimating Georgia is nothing new. But time and time again we’ve proven national naysayers wrong and upended their expectations.
They underestimated us in 2018 when Stacey Abrams came closer to winning the governor’s seat than any Democrat in recent history.
They underestimated us in 2020 when Georgia went blue in the presidential election and was the only state in the country to pick up a Democratic seat in the U.S. House and the state legislature.
They underestimated us in 2021 when Georgia flipped the U.S. Senate.
And they underestimate us in 2024 at their own risk. We can once again build a winning multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition that truly reflects the people and values of our state.
But we’re counting on your support to make it all possible. So please, make a $20 contribution to Fair Fight today to help make sure voters can make their voices heard as we head into 2024.
—Team Fair Fight
