Today’s Action: Georgia’s runoff election is tomorrow – make calls and send texts!
First, a celebration: thanks to Democrats (including the OD Action community) who made phone calls and sent emails over the past two weeks, we have BLOCKED Trump’s nomination of racist Thomas Farr to the District Court! Despite a Republican-majority, two GOP Senators switched sides to join Democrats in preventing Farr’s history of voter suppression in North Carolina from landing a seat in our federal courts system.
And now…we go further south to Georgia, where it’s imperative we keep up this great momentum. Republicans in the Peach State have done their absolute worst to tamp down, slow down, and silence voters (especially people of color, the elderly, the poor) who would vote them out. But tomorrow, we have a chance to change this.
As Georgia’s Secretary of State, Republican Brian Kemp tossed and lost thousands of ballots in primarily Black districts…but Georgia faces a runoff election tomorrow for Kemp’s replacement. A Republican would most definitely carry on Kemp’s nefarious practices, but securing a win for Democrat John Barrow could be a game-changer. With GOP voter suppression removed, Black communities could finally get their constitutional voice and Georgia could even go blue in 2020.
Barrow was a Democrat in the U.S. House for ten years and voted against voter suppression policies such as a required photo I.D.
But the Republican candidate is running a Trump copycat, actively and vocally pushing for stricter and harsher voter list scrubbing — a thinly-veiled attempt to stop people of color, the poor, and the elderly from voting.
Please help the disenfranchised voters of Georgia make their voices heard in this vital election by electing John Barrow — because it’s only going to get harder for Georgians to make their voices heard without a Democrat in office.
