Throughout this event we’re accepting donations for @staceyabrams' @fairfightaction. There's a donate button below the speakers in the frame.
Early voting in GA starts Monday the 14th!
What can we do to help GA?
Voter contact is important, and @anjalienjeti recommends encouraging voters to craft a voting plan.
How are they voting? What tools and steps and info do they need to learn before they cast their ballot? Which polls are open? Transportation there?

Phone banking is very valuable. @anjalienjeti says if you get just one or two people on thirty calls, this is great. Because they’re going to share it with other people. There’s a domino effect.
If you’ve never done phone or text banking before, you can participate in this training: https://www.mobilize.us/fairfight/event/363590/
Here's another phone banking training to help you get started: https://www.mobilize.us/georgiademocrats/event/264759/
Here are phone banking opportunities to take action with @ossoff for Senate: https://www.mobilize.us/electjon/?tag_ids=212
You can join team @ReverendWarnock and call Georgia voters: https://www.mobilize.us/warnockforgeorgia/event/362553/
If you're doing non-partisan phone banking, what can you talk about? You can help voters apply for their absentee ballot and find their voting location, you can talk voting plans. Lots of things!
You can do phone banking with @theyseebluega (cofounded by @anjalienjeti) to mobilize South Asian American voters.
