Election authorities in Georgia have opened investigations [[link removed]] into three groups trying to register new voters ahead of the state’s January 5th runoff elections, which will determine control of the U.S. Senate. Unless there’s a legitimate reason for this (doubtful), it appears like we’re looking at another thinly veiled attempt to stop these organizations from reaching people like us and other communities in Georgia.

Action

[[link removed]]
It’s no secret that our democracy has been under attack these past four years.
To reclaim some of the power we’ve lost and to create the change that people like us want to see in our democracy, Congress and our next administration must support the passage of the For the People Act (HR1). This is a once-in-a-generation democracy reform package that will clean up our political system, get big money out of politics, hold elected officials accountable for corruption, expand and protect voting rights, and create a democracy that values the voices of all Americans.
