Indivisibles,
We’ve drafted version after version of this email today, [ [link removed] ]filling it
with statistics about all the work we did, and [ [link removed] ]registration links for
important updates, and [ [link removed] ]celebrations of how far we’ve come.
But here’s the bottom line: We won. WE WON GEORGIA.
WE REPEAT: JON OSSOFF AND RAPHAEL WARNOCK ARE THE NEXT SENATORS FROM
GEORGIA.

It’s now 2021, and in just a few short days Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
will be in control of the White House. We have held onto a Democratic
majority in the House with a powerful progressive voting bloc. And we now
have a 50-50 split in the Senate, with Kamala Harris as the tie-breaker.
Hope is a strange feeling to so many of us nowadays, but this morning we
felt that spark of hope that’s kept us going for the past four years grow
a little stronger.
This victory is because of years and years of hard, often unappreciated
work, from Stacey Abrams, John Lewis, our partner organizations, Black and
brown voters, local Indivisible leaders, and tens of thousands of everyday
people who took time to pick up a phone, knock on a door or send a
postcard. Together, that broad coalition helped voters overcome historic
voter suppression and moved Georgia -- and the nation -- towards a
brighter tomorrow.
It's a historic moment: not only did these runoffs draw record voter
turnout, but we are also celebrating Reverend Warnock as the first Black
senator and Jon Ossoff as the first Jewish senator elected to represent
Georgia. Their victories are a repudiation of the corruption and
ineptitude of people like Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. With Warnock
and Ossoff representing Georgia, we’re finally on track to enact the
progressive legislation we need to save our democracy.
You’ll hear a lot from us in the next few days about what’s next. But
here’s your first set of action items:
1. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for Thursday’s National Activist Call. We’ll debrief these
elections and go over what’s to come. And also take time to
celebrate!
2. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to join an event during The People Lead week of action.
It's our first chance to celebrate our wins and to get new Senators’
and members of Congress’ attention and tell them what we want. And
we’ll be amplifying our message online and through the press. The
People Lead is the first step in making the changes we want to see in
2021.
3. Let us know how you’re feeling! Celebratory? Worried about what comes
next? Relieved? We always love to hear from you; feel free to reach
out on [ [link removed] ]Facebook, or [ [link removed] ]Twitter, or reply to this email to let us
know how you’re doing!
It is a pleasure and an honor to work with you. We’re so thrilled to have
won today and so excited and energized, for everything that’s to come.
In hope, joy, and solidarity,
Indivisible Team
