Hospitality Workers’ Union UNITE HERE: Unprecedented Direct Voter Contact Paves Way for Democrats to Do the Impossible, Win Georgia Senate Races

—UNITE HERE’s 1,000 union canvassers will hit 1.5 million doors to elect @ReverendWarnock & @ossoff. #gasen ImageImage
As voters across GA head to the polls, hospitality workers are pointing to convos on the doors directly with voters as the reason Dems @ReverendWarnock & @ossoff could be elected to the Senate, despite enormous obstacles to voting that have historically favored GOP candidates. Image
A relic of Jim Crow-era policies aimed at diluting the influence of Black voters, Georgia’s runoff elections historically favor Republican candidates. For Democrats to have a chance at victory, voter turnout among Black voters and other voters of color is critical. #gasen #gapol Image

MEDIA ADVISORY for TUES. DEC. 8

— UNITE HERE hospitality workers will be joined by Atlanta City Council members and allies to highlight campaign to knock on over one million doors to elect @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff.

PRESS RSVP HERE: bit.ly/1209-ga
Tomorrow's rally will be at the Gold Lot at Turner Field, and will be followed by a “walk with us” opportunity for press to follow canvassers and politicians on the doors speaking to voters.

This event will be staged safely, masks and 6-feet social distancing required.
During the General, we knocked on the doors of 3M voters to vote for Biden/Harris in NV, AZ, FL & PA, helping drive unprecedented turnout while staying safe through a strict contactless canvassing protocol — now we're fighting to do the same in GA by knocking on over 1M doors.
