In a moment, we’ll outline the dangerous voter suppression bills that extremists are trying to ram through the Georgia legislature right now — restricting the freedom to vote and undermining our elections. But first, we have to ask if you can help stop them, because the clock is ticking.
If we can block SB 221 and SB 222 — which would eliminate ballot drop boxes, make it easier to kick Georgians off of voter rolls, and add felony penalties for counties that accept external funding for elections — from passing through a Senate vote by the legislature's Monday deadline, we may keep them off the table for the rest of the year. Until then, we’re spending every possible minute organizing and advocating against them.
SB 221 and SB 222 are blatant attacks on our freedom to vote — and would disproportionately affect young voters and voters of color.
Esosa Osa, Deputy Executive Director of Fair Fight Action, said it best: “It encourages vigilante intimidation and disenfranchisement.”
The Fair Fight Action team is deploying every possible resource to block these bills and support proposals that would help Georgia voters access the ballot box — not stop them from making their voices heard. We’re organizing activists to contact their representatives and working with our allies in the legislature and our partners on the ground to speak out.
But we need your help as we continue to go all-out to stop SB 221 and SB 222 before Monday’s legislative deadline. Please chip in today.
Thank you for everything,
The Fair Fight Action Team
