Dear Friend,
Last week, Far-Right Republican governor Brian Kemp of Georgia signed Senate Bill 202 into law, implementing yet another horrendous GOP attack on voting rights.
Many are referring to this legislation as “Jim Crow 2.0” because of its blatant targeting of Black and Brown voters.
Here’s what this awful law does to Georgia’s voters:
- Cuts the time period voters have to request absentee ballots and impose new identification requirements.
- Makes it easier for state officials to take over local elections boards.
- Limits the use of ballot drop boxes.
- Allows challenges to voting eligibility.
- Criminalizes any attempt to approach voters in line, even if only to give them food or water.
So Stacey Abrams is commanding us to fight back:
