Today would've been my mother's 74th birthday.
My mom, Sandy Pressley, loved her family, community, politics, and sports. She loved the color purple, theater, jazz, to laugh and to dance. Sandy Pressley was a woman of strong faith and I have no doubt she would've considered herself a Matthew 25 Christian - she lived her life in service to the least of these.
Sandy's last activist steps were taken at the annual Mother's Day Louis D. Brown Peace Walk; her last civic action was to change her voting status from New York to Massachusetts.
My mother was a super voter and poll worker. She was looking forward to casting a vote for her daughter for the very first time in my first City Council re-election bid. I'll never forget her shaking but determined hand as she signed my nomination papers. Sadly, cancer, being the cruel thief that it is, denied my mom her chance to cast that final ballot.
In celebration of Sandy's life and the way she lived it, I’m asking you to please sign up for a phone or text bank shift today with Fair Fight. Together, we can ensure we are victorious in Georgia, regain control of the Senate, and make real strides towards the things my mother dedicated her life to: peace, equality and justice.
The Georgia Senate runoff is in less than two weeks and so much is at stake. Flipping these two Senate seats would mean that we can make so much more progress on the entrenched inequities and disparities facing our communities. We have to make sure that every single voter has a plan to cast their vote and make their voice heard on January 5th.
Thank you for your partnership and for helping to honor Sandy’s legacy,
Ayanna Pressley
