Akbar’s election is on Tuesday. Can you help him cross the finish line?
Hi John. This is a make-or-break moment for our movement:
🚨 Akbar Ali’s runoff is just two days away, and this final 48-hour push will determine whether a 21-year-old community leader becomes the youngest member of the Georgia Assembly in history.
🚨 And tonight at midnight, we’re facing our first end-of-month deadline since our big wins at the ballot box earlier this month — and with donations dropping off over the holiday, we’re on track to miss it.
We cannot let anyone believe our recent progress was a fluke or a finish line. It was just the beginning — the moment young leaders like Akbar finally started breaking through and taking power.
Will you split $21 — for a 21-year-old candidate — or anything you can before midnight between Leaders We Deserve and Akbar’s campaign?

Akbar is a small‑business owner, Kennesaw State grad, and former First Vice Chair of the Gwinnett County Democratic Party who came just 500 votes short of first place in the primary for Georgia’s 106th House District. He built that support the hard way: months of door knocking, one conversation at a time, even traveling with two interpreters so every community could be heard and included in his campaign.
And now he’s this close because of you, John: Your support turned a long shot into a frontrunner and powered the organizing that moved voters — including people David met at the doors who didn’t even know there was an election but committed to voting for Akbar after hearing about his platform.
And in a race like this, that kind of organizing is everything. Runoffs come down to turnout, often by just a few hundred votes — which is why your support before midnight is so critical. We must win this race, hit our end-of-month deadline, and prove we aren’t slowing down or satisfied after this month’s wins — we’re just getting started.
⏰ Time is running out, John. Will you chip in $21 or anything you can before midnight to help close our gap, drive the final turnout push, and elect the youngest member of the Georgia Assembly ever?

Winning Tuesday won’t just be a single victory — it’ll be proof that when we bet on young organizers and grassroots power, we can change what’s possible, make history, and open the door to even bigger wins ahead.
Thank you for stepping up in a critical moment for our movement.
