Friend,
Voting is vitally important - this turbulent year has made that clearer than ever. So before we sign off for a few days of holiday break (which we hope will be a time of relaxation and peace for you, as well), we wanted to remind you of two crucial volunteer opportunities next week to help get out the vote in Georgia's fast-approaching Senate runoff elections.
These Jan. 5 runoff elections are incredibly important. Control of the U.S. Senate is on the line, and the results will determine how we tackle the nation's most pressing issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic and our national reckoning with systemic racism.
Next week will be a critical period for voters to submit their absentee ballots and take advantage of early voting opportunities. That's why we're asking you to take action.
We are holding two virtual phone banking events next week 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 ballot applications and learn about other early voting options. 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: 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 - and happy holidays,
Your friends at the SPLC
