***********************
People For Supporter, early voting in Georgia’s runoff election between Sen.
Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker began today. 

Building upon our success in driving turnout in the recent midterms and in
the 2020 elections, we are launching our Defend the Black Vote program in
the Georgia runoff election. Our Defend the Black Vote program is a
nonpartisan effort to ensure that historically disenfranchised voters are
able to fully participate in democracy and cast their votes. [ [link removed] ]But we’re
counting on the support of our People For members to help us get out the
vote for the Georgia runoff election.

The Georgia run-off systems has its roots in preventing groups that have
historically been marginalized from having their votes and voices
counted.^[1] We can’t and won’t let this system prevent eligible voters
from making their voices heard.  

We are counting on your support to fuel these efforts – [ [link removed] ]will you make a
donation of any amount right now to help Defend the Black Vote in Georgia?

Because of the urgency of this moment, a generous group of supporters has
put forward a matching gift challenge for Giving Tuesday. Starting today,
they’ll match all gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $75,000! 

[ [link removed] ]That means your impact is doubled - don’t delay, make your gift for
this critical effort to protect voting rights right now. 

We’re already on the air with radio ads throughout Georgia, our
peer-to-peer texting program will be sending 1 million texts to Black male
voters aged 18-60 in the state, we’re mobilizing African American pastors
to help ensure members of their congregations are able to get to the
polls, and we are working with world-renowned visual artists to inspire
voters to make their voices heard.

[ [link removed] ]Every dollar donated today will be immediately put to use in our robust
get out the vote effort:

* $15 – Helps print materials to support our GOTV efforts on the ground.
* $25 – Helps with transportation to the polls being organized by our
ministers’ network
* $50 – Helps us reach more Black men to turn out and vote via our
peer-to-peer texting program.
* $75 – Helps us sponsor more billboards encouraging voters to turn out
* $150 – Helps keep us on the air with our radio ads across Georgia
through Election Day.

Thank you in advance for taking action today – we truly can’t do this work
without you. 

Sincerely,

Svante Myrick 
Executive Director 
People For the American Way
