Can you do a phone bank shift (or two!) to help remind Georgia voters about the January 5th Special Election for 2 U.S. Senate seats that’s just 7 short days from now? It's GO TIME! This is THE critical week for phone banking in Georgia. Every registered voter in Georgia deserves to have a voice in the January 5th special election, where two U.S. Senate seats are being voted on; but not everyone knows the Special Election is happening on January 5th — so we need your help making phone calls to let people know that now is the time to vote again!
Thank you for doing ALL the things to help protect democracy!!!
MORE BACKGROUND
With all the zany news out there, it can be easy to lose sight of some of the really big news -- THERE IS A SPECIAL ELECTION IN GEORGIA ON JANUARY 5th!
Yes, we’re ALL CAPS shouting from the rooftops about this Special Election for two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia that’s happening on January 5th because, since this is a special election at a time when voting doesn’t typically happen, a lot of people don’t know about it yet.
*Do you have some time to help get out the vote with the Black women-led Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda, along with the Transformative Justice Coalition, and Public Citizen in making phone calls to Georgia voters to let them know about their early voting, absentee voting, and same day voting options for the January Special Election?
The time is now!! “This week is the most important week to make phone calls. Our goal is getting people the information they need to early vote, which starts Monday, December 14th in Georgia; and also to ask people to utilize the absentee ballot process in Georgia. Getting people the information they needed to vote early and absentee on November 3rd resulted in historic voter turnout, we’re using those same tactics now to build voter turnout for the Georgia Special Election!” - Dianne Wilkerson, Transformative Justice Coalition
Phone banking is easy! Just click our link to let us know you are interested. We'll immediately send you detailed directions from the Transformative Justice Coalition, and let them know you want to help get out the vote in Georgia. Then, all you need to do is set aside anywhere from 30 minutes to even 2 or 3 hours to phonebank in order to give people in Georgia the information they need to vote on or before January 5th. You will be walked through every step of the way by the Transformative Justice Coalition and there are voter protection attorneys as resources too.
