[ [link removed] ]Win Georgia!

PFAW Member,

As has become increasingly apparent, the New York Times reports that
Republicans’ strategy in the Georgia runoff elections is clearly focused
on smearing Democratic candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is Black.

Republicans are making a last-ditch appeal to racism and the “Old South”
status quo by using the exact same attacks – in many cases verbatim – that
the Right Wing used to attack Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who preached
from the same pulpit that Rev. Warnock now occupies as the senior pastor
at Dr. King’s former church.

From TV ads to Internet disinformation campaigns to the major campaign
rally Donald Trump headlined in Georgia over the weekend, the way Warnock
is being targeted reflects the absolute worst of our politics – and we
need to do everything we can to make sure Georgia voters REJECT these
racist, fear-mongering tactics.

[ [link removed] ]So, please, if you have not given to these efforts yet – or even if you
have – make an immediate 3X-MATCHED donation to People For’s Emergency
Georgia Runoff Fund to WIN GEORGIA and flip control of the U.S. Senate in
advance of the next administration!>>

Republicans know that if they win in Georgia, they’ll keep control of the
Senate and be able to block all the progress we so desperately need in the
areas of democracy reform, racial justice, equal rights, public health,
and economic opportunity. That’s why they are fighting so hard … and
sinking so low.

“Radical” … “Socialist” … “Communist” … these descriptions of Rev.
Warnock, thrown about wildly by Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Donald Trump, and
every Republican involved in the Georgia Senate races, could not be
farther from the truth. But, unfortunately, they’re all too familiar.

They are the same attacks used not only against Dr. King but against any
talented, charismatic Black leader who challenges the status quo. They
used the same attacks against Barack Obama and are also using them against
Stacey Abrams in Georgia right now, as the state’s most effective
progressive organizer.

All the extreme attacks on progressives, on Rev. Warnock, and on the other
Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff, are also meant to distract voters from
the Republican incumbents’ own corruption. Both Loeffler, the most wealthy
member of Congress, and David Perdue, the Senate’s most prolific stock
trader, have been guilty of egregious conflicts of interest when it comes
to their dealings in the stock market, and have been investigated for
insider trading and shameless profiteering during the pandemic while their
constituents suffered.

The vote itself belongs to Georgia but it’s up to people of conscience all
across the country to do our part in any way we can to have an impact on
these runoff elections.

That’s why People For is running ads, mailers, and mobilizing our
activists in – and out – of Georgia for calling, texting, and other voter
contact programs.

But we need you with us … all the way through Election Day on January 5.

We only have 4 weeks. All donations to this effort will be 300%-MATCHED,
tripling the power of your impact!

[ [link removed] ]Please donate as generously as you can right now to win Georgia and
flip the Senate!>>

Thank you for everything you do.

-- Ben Jealous, President
