Georgia Equity Runoff Campaign
Shockingly, despite the criticality of this election, to the future direction of the U.S. Senate, there remain millions of Georgians who are clueless not only that there is an election but that they are eligible to participate in the election. Exacerbating this already troubling scenario is a new campaign of purposeful disinformation, some new voter suppression proposals aimed at voter registration by the Georgia Board of Elections, and racist appeals.
Every person in the United States can directly assist in ensuring that Georgia's voters are aware of and educated about the upcoming Senate runoff race; informed how unregistered voters can register to vote by Georgia's deadline of December 7th; informed how to apply to receive their absentee ballot; to safely assist those who choose to vote in-person beginning on the first day of in-person early voting starting December 14th; and, to urge to all Georgia voters to cast their ballot by the last day to vote on January 5th.
To help accomplish these goals, TJC and the Peoples' Agenda, and Partners, are seeking volunteers from throughout the nation to help and assist in several campaigns. TJC is working with its over 100+ partner organizations in a Georgia Runoff Equity Campaign. Currently, TJC has several components of its Campaign to address needs that have been identified by our chief Georgia partner, The Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda. including organizing special voter outreach and Get Out The Vote events, postcard writing, phone banking, clergy to the polls, PPE provision, voter registration, absentee ballot assistance, youth engagement, December 14th John Lewis Marches, public education, and much more.
