Georgia is on everyone's minds right now! How can you help from out of state? Start by following and supporting the great BIPOC focused organizations that are ALREADY doing the work down there.
If you can, sending some $$$ their way would be nice too!

1st read this thread. Wanting to help is good! But don't run in with the intention of "saving" people who have been doing this for years
Instead, let these amazing organizers (whose work already flipped GA Blue!) call the shots & listen to what they need https://twitter.com/FallonMcClureGA/status/1325427468296216577?s=20

Now for a few groups! You've probably heard of @fairfightaction - the organization started by @staceyabrams after the Georgia Governor election was stolen from her in 2018. They've been working since then to fight voter suppression in the state. https://fairfight.com/
. @fairfightaction already has their first action set up for phone and text banking the weekend of the 14th https://www.mobilize.us/fairfightaction/event/362669/
. @BlackVotersMtr is a fantastic group working in the South and southwest to get more Black voters registered and to the polls. You might have seen pictures from their BVM bus tour this election season https://blackvotersmatterfund.org/
The @NewGAProject with @nseufot, works to register voters of Color in the state of Georgia. The registration deadline to vote in the Federal runoff is December 7th, so there's no time to waste https://newgeorgiaproject.org/
. @AAAJ_Atlanta is a group that works to protect Asian Americans in the Atlanta area and they work on getting out the vote too. https://www.advancingjustice-atlanta.org/
For a larger list, here's a googlesheet of BIPOC voter outreach organizations working in Georgia, put together by @theyseebluega, a South Asian Dems group that worked to turn GA Blue

And of course if you prefer, you can also donate directly to, and work with, the campaigns of @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff !
Whoever and however you help, let's give Georgia the support they need and (fingers crossed!) end up with a result that benefits the entire United States!
