We just learned some disturbing news, and we need to make sure you hear about it:
Elections officials in Cobb County -- one of the largest counties in the state, and my home county -- recently decided to
close six polling locations before early voting begins for our upcoming Senate runoff elections.
Because of these poll closures, activists will have to work even harder to make sure Cobb County voters know where and how to cast their ballots in our critical runoffs next month.
And we need to help them.
If you’re able, we need you to pitch in right now and split a donation between OAD and Fair Fight -- Stacey Abrams’s organization encouraging voter participation here in Georgia. Fair Fight is on the ground doing the work to make sure everyone votes in January’s runoffs, but they can’t do it without your support.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
This decision is a blatant attack on voting rights in our state, and since many of these polling locations are in Black and Brown neighborhoods, it will impact minority communities most of all.
The truth is, too many folks won’t have the time or access to the transportation they need to reach polling places located further from their homes. And during a pandemic, forcing more people to gather at fewer voting sites is simply dangerous to public health.
So many people -- from Rep. John Lewis to Stacey Abrams -- have fought too long and too hard for all of us to be able to vote. Now, we
have to make sure we defend that right and participate in our democracy.
Please give just $10 -- or whatever you can -- to OAD and Fair Fight right now so we can keep working to protect access to the ballot box in Georgia.
Thank you,
Sarah Riggs Amico
