Today’s Action: Last call for letters/postcards to Georgia!
Early voting for the Georgia Senate runoff election begins next Monday, December 14, and with it our last chance to take back the Senate for Democrats and fire Mitch McConnell.
Georgia Democrats are facing many of the same voter suppression tactics that they experienced during the November 3rd election, from miles-long voting lines in predominantly Black precincts to a sabotaged and slowed United States Postal Service.
Our job now is to encourage Georgia Democrats to partake in early voting, to give them the best possible chance of voting successfully in spite of every curveball the GOP has planned for this election.
Today is the mail date for most letter and postcard campaigns to Georgia voters! Mail what you have written – and write a few more before the postmark deadline this evening. Send letters with Vote Forward or postcards with Postcards To Voters.
Tired of election season? So are we – but winning these two runoff Senate seats is literally the difference between a full Democratic control…and two more years of amazing House bills collecting dust on Mitch McConnell’s desk.
Robust pandemic relief to save lives and end this nightmare. Strong climate change domestic policy. Defunding ICE. Quality healthcare for all Americans. Statehood for the District of Columbia. Judicial confirmations for Democratic judges. Voter rights and protections instead of suppression. Protecting and strengthening LGBTQ+ and women’s rights. We could have them all with a Democratic Senate… and none of them without one.
Send letters and postcards to Georgia voters to win the Senate – TODAY! This is the mail date for most campaigns!
