Turn Passion Into Action in 2021

FIND OUT HOW
Maybe you've attended a protest, phone banked for a candidate or followed Greta's work with admiration.

​Now you have the opportunity to go all in by taking a gap year in 2020. Defer your college admission or take a leave of absence from school to dedicate yourself to campaign work, getting out the vote or organizing around an issue that speaks to you. In the era of COVID-19, your voice is more important than ever!

We are here to give you the information you need to make it happen. Search the hashtag #election2020gapyear on instagram for additional resources

HELP IN GEORGIA!

Picture
Keep it simple! Choose one action to start, from the Radical Support Collective.

 Making calls and sending texts are the best ways to help mobilize voters no matter where you live. We recommend signing up for an event with People's Action or Seed The Vote.

You can also volunteer directly with the campaigns for Jon Ossoff and/or Raphael Warnock.
 
​Letter-writing is also a good way to nudge voters toward action: votefwd.org

Live in Georgia? Vote! And see these in-person volunteer opportunities (plus a few remote ones) from the Georgia Democrats. But please don’t travel to Georgia from out-of-state unless you’ve been invited by a local organization! We’re still in a pandemic.

 Check out this awesome resource list as well, recommended by our co-editor Daniel: Daniela's List to Tasking Action in Georgia.
