John — in 2018, a bus carrying dozens of Black seniors on their way to vote in rural Georgia was blocked...intentionally.
In 2020, some voters waited seven hours to cast their ballots, others had to face down police seeking to send them home.
Ahead of the 2022 elections, the attacks on our right to vote have only gotten worse with Georgia passing one of the most restrictive voter suppression laws in history.
As a Black woman, these kinds of Jim Crow-era tactics to suppress Black voters' voices make me sick.
Georgia is shaping up to be critically important again, and we are going to do everything we can to make sure Black voters’ voices are not shut out.
We’ve got the team, the track-record, and the tenacity to register thousands of new voters and get thousands of voters to the polls in 2022, so I need to ask: Can you donate $15 today to help us ensure every Black voter’s voice is heard in 2022? [[link removed]]

At the end of 2020 women of color organized in cities across the country, leading an unprecedented voter turnout effort, saving democracy in the process. This year Black, Latinx, Indigenous and Asian women made our voices heard at home and work, in our communities and at the highest levels of government.
Whenever women of color and other marginalized groups show our collective power, the oppressive systems that drive this society want to take away our hard-won progress.
Our approach to dismantling these systems: empower women of color.
This is the perfect time to make your first gift to NDWA and to show that you believe in the collective power of women of color. [[link removed]]

Georgia's deep ties to the domestic worker movement are extremely significant to the National Domestic Workers Alliance; Atlanta is the birthplace of the modern domestic worker movement.
In the 1880s, Black domestic workers went on strike, bringing the city’s white elite to its knees to win better pay. In the 1960s, Atlanta was where Dorothy Bolden founded the National Domestic Workers Union and where, in 2007, NDWA was founded. In recent years, it’s been a huge focus of our work to organize Black domestic workers and ensure every voter’s voice is heard.
We've seen firsthand the power of organizing in states like Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, Arizona and more. And in 2022 we’re unleashing that power again.
Thanks for all that you do,
Jasmine Bowles, Georgia State Director
