Friend,

The people of Georgia have spoken.

Senators-elect Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock’s victories mean that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be the deciding vote on legislation introduced on the U.S. Senate floor. Her vote gives Democrats the Senate majority.

This momentous victory will not be undermined by hateful, far-right extremists. We will not be intimidated by the heinous violence that occurred at the U.S. Capitol. Our democracy remains resilient in the face of attacks made by Donald Trump and his cronies, who have stoked the flames of insurrection and disinformation.

In light of the chaos our nation has endured, we want to uplift the remarkable work the NextGen community has accomplished during the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff election in the last leg of this historic election cycle.

- 1,004,016 phone calls made to young Georgians
- 1,177,856 text messages sent to young Georgians
- 175,879 voter guides sent to young progressive voters of color
- 140 Influencers on Instagram and TikTok recruited, posting to an audience of 200,000 followers

The numbers don’t lie: When the #YouthVote shows up, we win -- and this win finally gives us the political power to ensure our government will serve the needs of the communities it has previously marginalized and silenced. 

The progressive issues that we fought for will finally be at the forefront of the congressional legislative agenda, and we are ready to build back a government that vehemently condemns white supremacy and uplifts the Black and brown voters who have constantly showed up for and empowered our representatives.  

With that, we are thrilled to invite you to our 2021 Youth Vote Power Hour on January 14, 2020! Join us as we debrief all things youth vote in the 2020 elections and our victory in the Georgia runoffs: [link removed] We are beyond excited to hear our amazing Youth Vote allies speak, so you can expect loads of cheering, celebrating, and campaign story sharing. We can’t wait to see you there.
