Georgia made history earlier this month when Biden was the first Democrat to win the state in nearly three decades.
It didn’t just happen by chance.
And the fight isn't even close to finished. https://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z

It took the dedicated work of organizers throughout the state to flip the state.
We spoke to several groups that were part of that effort—and are continuing their work.
This is what they told us. http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z

“What we need to focus on is how we are working to make sure that our most targeted populations—our most vulnerable populations, our least represented populations—are able to vote." - @KatCalvinLA of @SpreadTheVoteUS http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
. @KatCalvinLA told us @SpreadTheVoteUS's game plan ahead of the runoff includes creating and distributing voter guides to first-time voters, helping eligible voters obtain a government-issued photo ID, and arranging rides to the polls http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
. @KatCalvinLA said there isn’t much of a difference between the strategies in the general election and in the run-off election, except that instead of mobilizing voters in 12 battleground states, they are putting all of their energy and resources into Georgia.
. @GigiPedrazaM leads @LCFGeorgia and said that during this election, it’s about getting the word out: “A lot of our work is education, like letting people know these are the important dates." http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
Her non-profit and non-partisan organization, which encompasses nearly 40 other partner groups, works to increase civic engagement, create Latino-serving programs, and invest in the community. http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
“Elected and appointed officials need to be reflective of the policies and issues that matter for their constituents,” @GigiPedrazaM told us http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
For Jerry Gonzalez of @GALEOorg, a non-profit organization designed to spark civic engagement within the Latino community in Georgia, this election is like the last: It’s all about the virtual campaigning. https://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
And part of that is speaking to people in their first language, which isn’t necessarily how things operate in Georgia. In this case, that means outreach in Spanish http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
“Everything that we do leads with Spanish,” Gonzalez said. “Language access is a big issue in Georgia. There’s only one county in the entire state that is mandated by the Voting Rights Act to provide English and Spanish information." http://bit.ly/3nImZ1Z
