Ten Days to Turn Out Georgia Voters |
|
|
As Rev. Warnock playfully says, "Yes, we're doing this again." |
|
Keeping control of the Senate is an important victory, but we still need Rev. Warnock's strong leadership on voting rights, reproductive rights, infrastructure investment and just plain decency. |

Reaching Out to Black Churches |
|
In early November, Swing Blue Alliance contacted the chair of the Clayton County GA Dems asking how we could best help with the upcoming run-off. She suggested that we coordinate with churches, particularly Black churches, to make sure their parishioners have clear information for voting. |
|
Swing Blue volunteers Andy Liebman, Tom Sanders, Susan Labandibar, Mary Wasmuth, Su Chiang, and Doug Grant put together a nonpartisan “How, Where and When to Vote” fact sheet. Rather than sending out information blindly, the volunteers researched all churches in Clayton County and tried to make contact with people at selected churches. |
|
Between Nov. 17 and Nov. 22, eight Swing Blue volunteers called 81 churches and reached a contact person at a third of them. Responses were mostly positive. For the churches they didn't reach, Swing Blue Alliance sent the non-partisan voting information to the church’s email address. |
|
Many of these churches will distribute this important early voting information. As a bonus, the Clayton County Dems now have a spreadsheet with a lot of valuable information about the churches in Clayton County. |
