Friend,

Georgians will soon determine the balance of the U.S. Senate.

Because no one candidate got 50% +1 vote in November’s two Senate elections, Georgians will vote for two Senate candidates in January 5th’s runoff election.

White lawmakers originally created Georgia’s runoff system to dilute Black voting power. But, having organized record-breaking turnout for November’s election, on-the-ground groups led by people of color are overcoming voter suppression.

The New Georgia Project Action Fund and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project have ONE WEEK LEFT to register young people and people of color before the voter registration deadline—including the 23,000 young Georgians who weren’t eligible to vote in the general election but can vote in the January 5th election.

Please split a donation of $5 now between The New Georgia Project Action Fund and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project.

These groups have a ton of work to do for this critical runoff election, and they need our support.

The Georgia Muslim Voter Project and The New Georgia Project Action Fund have already been on the ground tirelessly doing the important work of educating, registering, and turning people out to vote—while building long-term power in marginalized communities.

And after next Monday’s new voter registration deadline, they’ll focus on empowering people with the tools they need to vote, including voting early.

Electoral campaigns often get the most attention and the most money. But often-underfunded local, grassroots groups are crucial trusted messengers for marginalized communities who’ve been left out of the political process—and who need more engagement in order to vote.

We know from our own local outreach and campaigning that it’s essential to build direct connections with potential voters, including truly listening to people’s concerns and needs. Such relationships are important not only during elections, but year-round as we build power and trust within our communities to fight for long-term change. That’s why giving to local groups is so needed.

Will you split a donation between the Georgia Muslim Voter Project and The New Georgia Project Action Fund to support their essential local organizing work?

Thanks for all you do,

Rashida
