Chop Wood, Carry Georgia 10/26 🍑
Hey, Team Georgia!
Election Day is less than 10 days away, and early voting in GA has already begun. Here’s what you all can do to help get voters to the polls, and protect election integrity:
You can phonebank with the New Georgia Project (NGP) and help Georgians make a plan to vote. They have sessions on Saturday and multiple weekdays– training will be provided. Click here to sign up!!
Unfortunately, election integrity is a particularly important issue in Georgia due to the long list of egregiously partisan shenanigans committed by the GA State Election Board. The Harris-Walz campaign has specifically called out combatting these voter suppression efforts as a top priority, and they are desperate for more poll watchers!! So, if you’re able to register with the Georgia Dems as a poll watcher, ballot monitor, or ballot curing volunteer, please do so ASAP! Fill out this form to learn more about voter protection and sign up for your preferred role. Or, you can register to be a poll monitor with NGP– click here for that. You’ll receive all the training and materials you need before your shift. Thank you all— it’s hard to overstate how important this is.
Lastly, Vote Forward still has two active letter writing campaigns in GA: one for turning out likely Dems, and another encouraging young, underrepresented Georgians to vote. Both of these still need a lot more writers (which is slightly concerning, considering letters have to be sent by this coming Tuesday, October 29). If you have the bandwidth, please please write some– whatever you can do helps a lot!
That’s all for now. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work! The end is in sight!

Georgia info is now 19 months behind.
We ARE doing things here, btw...
We must help get more Democratic voters to the polls in swing states! Let’s support those tireless folks who are door-knocking, phone banking, & text banking till - and including - Election day! But how are those likely Blue voters located?
Field Team 6 is the only organization that identifies likely Democrats, gets them to register, then nudges them to vote. Their approach gains new Democratic votes for only $2.24 for 1 new vote - a fraction of other organizations’ cost-per-vote. But they need names, addresses, and phone numbers of who to approach.
Democrat Janet Protasiewicz was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in August 2023 - as a direct result of Field Team 6’s outreach.
Even now, there are a dozen states where you can still register to vote - some even on election day. And in any swing state, volunteers can still go door knocking, phone banking, & text banking. As little as 10 or 20 votes per precinct can enable Democrats to win.
Join me in donating at https://www.fieldteam6.org/ Their research identifies the people who doorknockers and phone bankers need to approach.
To check out Field Team 6’s impact, see https://www.fieldteam6.org/_files/ugd/c03fe4_ca47cde71737499492a602eb46bf0aba.pdf- They have a very impressive track record of getting more people to vote Democratic.
Who will help? Can I see a show of hands? (I’m too tired to go door-knocking - I’ve sent out 500 postcards in the past several weeks.)
