Nine weeks of hustle & outreach. Nine weeks of believing we are in this together. Decades of strategy, grit + building. Wednesday’s terrorism seeks to distract us from what has been & what will be. So let’s take today to celebrate the orgs that brought us Tuesday’s victory:

Many hands made this work - kudos to those not listed here. Together, @fairfightaction supported these orgs that yielded more than 10 million door knocks & millions of calls, texts, postcards, mail, digital contacts + RESULTS.

That’s what they are afraid of. And why we’ll win.

THREAD: Not only will Georgia turn blue at the top of the ticket, but @GeorgiaDemocrat will win critical races down the ballot from the state house, senate and more.

Meet some of these exceptional candidates below and make your voting plan now: iwillvote.com #gapol
I am proud to support my friend @repmaryfrances in her re-election to serve HD 37. She is a tireless advocate for all Georgians to receive adequate health care, and a strong ally in our efforts to protect the right to vote. Now, lets get it done for Mary Frances Williams. #gapol
.@electluisa will work hard to address the inequalities we face. Her bold leadership will make all of Georgia proud. I am excited to endorse her campaign for HD 43. Let’s Get It Done for Luisa. #gapol

The 2020 GA ballot includes 3 Constitutional Amendments (CAs). If you live in DeKalb or Atlanta, we also have issues on the ballot. I'm voting YES on all 5 questions.
1/6
1. Dedicated taxes & fees: Right now, the state can approve fees for one purpose and then use the money for other reasons. This CA requires that $$ be spent as promised. Opponents worry we could regret restrictions in a crisis. The CA has a process to access funds if needed. 2/6
2. Waives state and local sovereign immunity: When a city, county or the state passes an unconstitutional law, residents can't sue. This fixes the flaw & lawmakers can be held accountable. Some worry about the cost of litigation, but those who sue can't collect damages. 3/6

THREAD: Georgia, our home, faces twin crises: of justice and of conscience. Recent horrifying incidents have renewed the urgency of change. Voting will not solve everything, but to build a government able to deliver equality, we must demand it at the ballot box.
#RoderickWalker was beaten by Clayton County sheriff deputies. While the firing of one officer is a step forward, all officers involved—including those who failed to intervene—should be held accountable. I am thinking of Mr. Walker and his family & join the call for justice.
At the privately-run Irwin County Detention Center, a whistleblower has accused ICE of conducting mass hysterectomies on detained immigrants. The dehumanization of women, esp. immigrant & Black women, is not new but never cease to shock the conscience. This must be investigated.

Donald Trump is actively seeking to undermine the U.S. Postal Service, and his actions have understandably caused serious concern among voters who wish to vote by mail. Why is Trump doing this? Because he is a failed president. 1/10
Rather than letting his efforts cause fear and panic, let’s fight back! To combat Trump’s desperate actions, we recommend making a PLAN to vote as early as possible, either by mail, using a drop box, or in person.

Simply put: Why wait? 2/10
If you want to enact change in our country and in your community, the best way to do so is by casting your vote as soon as you can.

We encourage all eligible voters to register and make their plan to vote in the November election now. 3/10

I send love to my neighbors and those in the streets. I see and share your call for more than lip service in response to outrage. We must have systemic change at every level. What we are witnessing in GA is anguish, frustration and anger that demands a voice. 1/5
I recognize this moment because it is not new.

In 1992, Atlanta exploded with an impotent rage when Rodney King’s attackers went unpunished. I led protests, and I challenged leaders for their inaction. 2/5
Then, as now, my fellow Georgians deserve to live in a country where they are no longer targeted, harassed, and murdered at the hands of the state. They want Black lives to be valued.
3/5

As polite sympathy turns to cynical outrage + Nixon-esque insults, and anxious protest is dismissed as mindless anarchy, we cannot let our eyes be turned away from the dead, murdered bodies that brought us here. Again. #GeorgeFloyd #AuhmadArbery #BreonaTaylor. 1/4
Rage, hopelessness and a ragged, unrelieved pain on display in Minneapolis has fearsome echoes in Louisville, Brunswick and a hundred American cities. Their deaths are symptomatic of a broken system that promises justice but fails to deliver. 2/4
Those entrusted with the gravest authority must be held to the highest standard of accountability.
Law enforcement, district attorneys, mayors, attorneys general, judges, legislators and governors must be held responsible - and their actions will be on the ballot in November. 3/4
