John, for decades, gerrymandering and voter suppression have been a core political strategy for Republicans to dilute Black voices.
Nowhere is that more apparent than in states like Georgia and South Carolina, where time and time again Black voters have waited in long lines to vote or had their ballots thrown out altogether.
But the dynamics are changing — and fast. The electorate is getting younger, more diverse, and making it clear that they aren't being heard by career politicians who put the ultra-rich and their corporate donors first. And in 2020 we have a real chance to flip MULTIPLE Senate seats in the South — with Jaime Harrison and Raphael Warnock.
The road to winning a government that works for the many — not the few — runs directly through Georgia and South Carolina. That's why WFP is endorsing these two amazing candidates and a slate of WFP champions across the South this year. Will you chip in to WFP's general election GOTV fund to help us get out the vote for Jaime Harrison, Raphael Warnock, and other WFP-endorsed candidates in the South?

Jaime Harrison is running a bold campaign rooted in his values — and it's working. He's in a dead-heat with Lindsey Graham, a profile in cowardice and nothing but a rubber stamp for Trump's agenda. South Carolina deserves better — and we're proud to fight for Jaime.
Raphael Warnock is a champion for working families locked in his own dead-heat race. As senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, he's fought for voting rights, health care, criminal justice reform, and good jobs for Georgians — and the Georgia Working Families Party is working day in and day out to get out the vote so that he can bring those fights to the Senate floor.
At this moment, we cannot turn away from parts of the country that the establishment and political pundits tell us are "too tough" or "not worth the investment," especially when the working families that live there have been left out and left behind for too long.
Instead, we must elect progressive champions who speak directly to that pain — and organize like hell to make sure our agenda for transformative change is fully realized.
But first, we have to win. Chip in toward WFP's general election GOTV fund to help us get out the vote in the final days of this election and build the progressive infrastructure we'll need in 2021 across the South.
