Today’s Action: Phone bank for progressive values in Georgia!
While Democrats will in fact retain control of the US Senate, one crucial race there remains. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock’s contest against the observably awful Herschel Walker in Georgia is headed to a runoff in December after neither candidate reached the 50% threshold required to win outright.
We’re in the (slightly elongated) home stretch, folks. It’s absolutely critical to stay engaged and involved and keep Georgia blue. We need as many progressives in office as possible to preserve the rights we’ve been fighting so hard for — reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun-safety initiatives, justice reform, etc. One more seat in the Senate could mean the difference between advancing our progressive agenda or watching Mitch McConnell obstruct and disrupt any further progress over the next two years. You don’t have to be a seasoned professional or a registered voter in Georgia to join this fight, just be ready to channel the late, great John Lewis and stir up some “good trouble.”
Georgia Votes is hosting ongoing phone-banking parties for Raphael Warnock through Election Day in December! You can help identify supporters of Sen. Warnock as well as talk to on-the-fence voters. People all across the country are able to join in from the comfort of their own homes, and there’s more than enough work to go around. Commit to a shift today!
