Chop Wood, Carry Georgia 10/16 🍑
Hey, Team Georgia!
Less than three weeks to go, and Georgia really could not be closer. So, let’s get to work.
You can call voters and encourage them to vote for Dems up and down the ballot with GA Victory any weekday from 6:30-8pm. Click here to sign up. The New Georgia Project (NGP) is also hosting virtual GOTV phonebanks, with a whole slew of options for times (training provided). Click here for that!
NGP is looking for poll monitor volunteers to help protect the vote on Election Day. For those of you who are too busy to canvass or phonebank regularly, this is a really efficient way to get involved– sacrifice one day of your time (November 5) and help a whole bunch of Georgians cast their ballot!! Sign up here – you’ll receive all the training and materials you need before your shift.
Canvass any weekend this month with Car Pools for Kamala – you can sign up for a 3-hour shift any Saturday or Sunday in Norcross, Macon-Bibb, or Savannah!
If you’re looking to make a high impact donation, this Facebook post from 159 Georgia Together lists several recognized and trusted Georgia organizations doing great work to turn out the vote, with a particular focus on young Georgians, BIPOC, and women voters. Go check it out and find the organization that you’d most like to support!
Lastly, let us not forget that Vote Forward has two active letter writing campaigns in GA: one for turning out likely Dems, and another encouraging young, underrepresented Georgians to vote. Send your letters by October 29. We’re in the final stretch for letter writing before the election, so do what you can!
OK, that’s it for now. Thanks, all!

The grim truth is, despite all our efforts, there’s a good chance Trump will win. We need to flip the U.S. House so we’ll have the majority in at least one chamber of Congress, to act as a check against Trump’s extremist agenda. Holding the Senate majority is going to be tough — with Democrats defending the seven closest seats — making the battle for the House a must-win.
And you can support worthy candidates without getting any more email!! Yes, really!
Sadly, Democratic donors waste millions of dollars giving too much to long-shot candidates, safe seats, or donating too late to make a difference.
What’s the solution? Oath is a fantastic resource that helps you donate most effectively. It’s the one-stop-shop for political giving that helps YOU maximize your impact.
And they protect your name and email – I’ve donated to a number of candidates via OATH and have not gotten even ONE subsequent text or email from ANY of the candidates. You will not be flooded with more pleas for money! What a relief!

And go here to turn the House Blue - https://app.oath.vote?ref=ZEI3HZQZ&p=fh – They show you where your donations can make the most difference, you select a total amount to donate, and they divvy it up.
Good people, pls. re-stack this so more people will see it.
