POWERING THE VOTE IN GEORGIA
Micah 6:8 And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
The injustices and insecurities around voter suppression and obstruction have many voters concerned about the future and integrity of the African American voting bloc. Since 2020, voting laws have drastically changed and are far stricter making it more complicated in many states for brown and black people to vote.
It's time to put it all on the line for Georgia. The Georgia Senate race is officially heading to a runoff in December - and we still face the overwhelming obstacle of voter suppression tactics that specifically target our communities to reduce turnout. Black voters in Georgia are the most powerful voters in America right now.
Now, it's time to show up for Georgia. This runoff is critical, and we have to show up to keep democracy at the forefront. You don't have to live in Georgia to help boost Black voter turnout in the runoffs. Let's make history - again.
