GET OUT THE VOTE!

Volunteer and Donate
for the Georgia run-off election

All eyes are on Georgia for the election run-off, where two Senate seats are up for grabs. Want to help out?  Organizations are looking for volunteers from across the country who can make phone calls, send text messages, donate, defend the vote and help fuel turnout. Here is a list of some great, nonpartisan nonprofits that are BIPOC-led, Georgia-based, and actively working on the Jan 5th Election Run-off.

As we near the end of the year, check with these organizations to see if they need funding for the final GOTV push on the ground.

1. Fair Count

Fair Count is dedicated to partnering with Hard to Count (HTC) communities to achieve a fair and accurate count of all people in Georgia and the nation in the 2020 Census, and to strengthening the pathways to greater civic participation.

Women Engaged (WE) is an initiative based in Atlanta, GA, that works to support Black women and young adults to become impactful leaders, key decision-makers and effective agents for social change through voter engagement, reproductive justice advocacy, and leadership development.
