HELP IN GEORGIA!
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.
