,

The upcoming runoff elections in Georgia couldn’t be more important. On Jan. 5, Georgia voters have the power to decide which party controls the U.S. Senate.

Think of all the ways control of the Senate will influence our country in the next year (and beyond). It will shape what our national COVID-19 recovery looks like. It will determine how we continue to reckon with systemic racism in our society. It will directly affect how we pivot to the future when the outgoing president leaves office.

The more voters in Georgia this January, the better. At the SPLC, we are doing all we can to ensure that turnout in upcoming runoff elections is just as high as in the record-breaking November election – or even higher. Will you help us?

Next week, we are holding two virtual phone banking events to help assist get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts in Georgia – and the more volunteers we have, the more potential voters we will be able to reach!

* Note: The Virtual Phone Bank will be open from 3-8 p.m. Eastern in order to accommodate all schedules. Volunteers are welcomed to participate at their convenience for as long as their schedules allow during this time frame.

Using your own phone (or any other internet-connected device), you can help Georgia voters complete absentee applications that often provide a faster and safer voting experience. Our Virtual Phone Bank will provide you with a complete script, connect you directly to voters and give you easy-to-follow instructions to record the results of your conversation.

New this week: We are excited to announce that we’re introducing a service called VPB Connect for all upcoming Virtual Phone Banks. This new feature lets callers click-to-dial from within any web browser on any device: computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. With just one click, you’ll be connected to Georgia voters directly from your browser. And instead of relying on volunteers’ own phone numbers, VPB Connect automatically uses an Atlanta area code and specified caller ID.

Every single minute our supporters contribute to GOTV efforts is greatly appreciated by our team and our partners working hard to turn out the vote in Georgia. By contributing your time, you’re joining a national movement that helped produce the highest voter turnout in our nation’s history this November. We have the power to finish this election season strong, and we hope you will join us to make sure each and every Georgia voter’s voice is heard.

In solidarity,

Your friends at the SPLC
