This isn’t good.
Facebook just announced that they would continue their ban on political ads for another month – all because Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge the reality of this election. Here’s the problem:
Georgia’s voter registration deadline is December 7th. Right now, Facebook’s advertising ban lasts until December 11th. Given Democratic voters are younger and change addresses more often, this impact disproportionately falls on Warnock and Ossoff’s campaigns.
We have to help them fight back. Will you split a contribution between Rev. Raphael Warnock’s campaign, Jon Ossoff’s campaign, and my progressive campaign? These two Democratic Senate candidates need resources to boost alternative voter registration efforts right now.
These runoff elections are our last shot at flipping the Senate, giving a whole host of common sense reforms and progressive changes a shot at happening. If we can’t do that, Mitch McConnell will do everything in his power to block every reform we propose.
Everything from raising the minimum wage to expanding health care is on the ballot in January. And thanks to Facebook’s new policies, our Democratic candidates can’t run critical get-out-the-vote ads or fundraise off their platform. Shockingly that won’t affect someone like Kelly Loeffler, who loaned her campaign $20 million, nearly as much.
Thanks for everything,
Ro
