There are only four days left in the runoff election to decide who will represent Georgia in the Senate. With the House officially in GOP hands, the results of this election will be hugely consequential for not only the people of Georgia – but the future of the Senate and our country. For decades, Georgia was written off as a “red” state, overlooked by national funders who assumed local investments there were a waste of time. You all know the story well by now: Georgia organizers ignored the naysayers, organized their hearts out, year after year after year – and proved conventional wisdom wrong. Now, Georgia is a powerful swing state in the center of the conversation about the direction of the Democratic party and the makeup of the Senate. Much of Groundwork’s mission came from the example set in Georgia. It provided us the ultimate case study on the power of local leaders and groups organizing in their communities over the long term. Decades of organizing led by the people who knew their state best turned the tide not only for Georgians but for the national landscape. Now, Groundwork is following their lead and trying to replicate that approach in our partner states. Team, are you ready to do what you can to help Senator Warnock? Here’s a list of how to support him, and Democrats on the ground in Georgia, in the final week before the runoff: 🍑 Call voters in Georgia and get out the vote! Nearly 3 million votes were cast in the general election in Georgia and with over 7 million active voters, there’s no shortage of calls to be made. Sign up to call voters and drive turnout in Tuesday’s runoff! 🍑 Donate to Movement Voter Project’s Georgia Fund – your donation powers organizers’ efforts to reach voters in Georgia in the final week! Senator Warnock knows firsthand that you can’t write off Georgia in a conversation about building power for Democrats in the South. Now it’s on us to step up and support the Warnock team, bring home a win for Senator Warnock and give Senate Democrats the crucial 51st vote. When we work together, we win together. Joe
