We all need to stop voter suppression. The end of the first quarter is upon us, John. I’ll get straight to the point: Can you pitch in $15 or more today for the progress happening in Middle and Southwest Georgia? Donate $15→ Donate $20→ Donate $50→ …

Not today

Not ever. John, Sadly, voter suppression isn’t going anywhere unless we continue to mobilize the people of Georgia. Last week, state Republicans pushed through significant changes in voting procedures. These changes have been specifically designed to limit the rights of voters across …

Did you see my team’s last email?
