A massive new voter suppression effort in Georgia 🚨

 

As Republicans prepare to cancel nearly half a million Georgians’ voter registrations, Fair Fight is racing to help as many people as possible stay on the rolls — but they need our support before tonight’s grassroots fundraising deadline. I founded Fair Fight with a basic goal: to defend our freedom to vote. And when our elected officials try to restrict that freedom, Fair Fight is on the frontlines working tirelessly to protect it.  We are now in exactly one of those moments. Voter purges — like the one underway in Georgia — are a tool of suppression and voter intimidation, with a long history dating back to Reconstruction and carrying on even beyond the shameful era of Jim Crow. Voter purges silence thousands of eligible voters — from military service members to college students, to those who did not vote in previous elections. They also disproportionately impact historically disenfranchised communities. We have to fight back — the time has never been more critical to power our pro-voter movement, and Fair Fight is connecting Georgia voters with the information they need to stay registered. Before midnight, please chip in to Fair Fight and help prepare for more attacks on voting from Georgia Republicans and their MAGA cronies.

When we have the freedom to take our seat at the table and our place at the ballot box, we can elect leaders who govern in our interests, ensure every voice is heard, and make the promise of democracy real for us all.  And that is why these Republicans want to restrict access to the ballot: they’re afraid of what will happen when we tap into our voting power and move our state, and our nation, toward a truly inclusive and representative democracy.  But Fair Fight pushes back wherever and whenever attempts at voter suppression take place, in Georgia and beyond.  If you believe that real patriotism in action is expanding the freedom to vote — not restricting it — will you make a donation to Fair Fight today to power their work to combat voter suppression during this critical time for voters in Georgia? Yes, I'll Donate Thank you, Stacey Abrams P.S. MAGA Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to shut us up if they didn’t know our power. They’re terrified that voters could hold them accountable in free and fair elections for failing to deliver for the American people. If we want to be able to defend our values, we can’t let them silence our voices.

Why my book was banned, and what it means for our fight

 

When I first heard that a book I wrote was one of hundreds banned from the U.S. Naval Academy library under the Trump regime, I found the news incredibly concerning.  You see, my book — Our Time Is Now — chronicles the erosion of voting rights, highlights the far right’s attacks on democracy, and provides a blueprint for ending voter suppression and empowering our fellow citizens to uphold and expand free and fair elections. And if the far right actually believes that my book about ensuring democracy is a threat to their ability to destroy it, then I’m on to something. In addition, I’m proud to be in the company of authors like Dr. Carol Anderson, a renowned historian and professor of African American studies who serves on the Board of Directors for Fair Fight Action. Her book White Rage: The Unspoken Truth Of Our Racial Divide was also banned. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism, and it analyzes the struggle for Black Americans to be full participants in our democracy. Of course, the ultimate target of book bans like these is the power that we, the people, possess. The power that MAGA Republicans would suppress. The power that we must use. With our freedoms facing grave threats, and with people in power trying to keep us from understanding how to defend it, we must double down in our fight for democracy. And we must support groups like Fair Fight that do the vital work of making our democracy live up to its promise, tackling the rise of authoritarianism, and ensuring free and fair elections. that’s why I need to ask if you can make a donation of any amount to Fair Fight. Every contribution helps make sure they can combat voter suppression in this new Trump era and help build a democracy where every voice is heard and empowered. DONATE Let’s be clear: You ban books if you’re afraid of the knowledge they can provide and the questions they may inspire readers to ask. And you suppress the vote if you’re afraid you could not win a truly fair election — or if you believe some people are inherently unworthy of participating in our democracy. My book was banned alongside works of literature and scholarship by people like Maya Angelou and Ibram X. Kendi. Mind you, they did not ban Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler. The targeted books are about topics like race, gender, and public policy, and they fall under MAGA’s attack on DEI — also known as “diversity, equity, and inclusion”; also known as the basis for all the movements of progress and opportunity we’ve achieved as a nation. Moves like these reveal the Trump regime’s outright contempt for civil rights and the ability of women, people of color, and marginalized communities to be part of American life. And as they continue working to suppress our voices, we must keep on fighting back. I’m proud that Fair Fight stands strong against attacks on our democracy. I founded Fair Fight after the 2018 elections to help make sure every eligible voter can easily register to vote, cast their ballot, and have it counted. Since its founding, Fair Fight has successfully combated voter suppression, made it possible for more people to exercise their power and their voice at the ballot box, and helped elect pro-democracy champions from municipal governments to the U.S. Senate and the presidency. Fair Fight will continue building pro-voter political power in the South, expanding access to voting, preventing mass voter purges, and pioneering strategic analysis and innovation to counter rising authoritarianism.  But none of this work is possible without dedicated supporters like you. Will you make a contribution of $5 or any amount today to help defend the freedom to vote and strengthen our democracy? Every contribution adds up to fund Fair Fight’s year-round work to protect and strengthen our democracy.

Republicans wouldn’t be focused on banning books and suppressing votes if they weren’t terrified of our knowledge and our power. But we won’t let them stop us from exposing their harms and holding them accountable at the ballot box. If we want to be able to defend our values, we can’t let them silence our voices. DONATE

Georgia on my mind

 

I have never been prouder of Georgia.  Even as we face attempts to squeeze the people’s voices out of our democracy, the people of this state refuse to let our voices and our votes be silenced.  Over 2 million Georgians have already voted in this election, and many more will do so before early voting ends November 1.  With changes to our election rules coming down to the wire, voting early is our best bet to ensure record turnout in numbers too big to cry fraud. In 2020 and 2021, Fair Fight helped drive record-breaking voter turnout among Georgians, particularly young voters and voters of color — flipping the Peach State blue for the first time in decades. Cynics said it wasn’t possible, but together we proved them wrong. We have the power to do it again, and to make the promise of democracy real for us all. I was there, and I’ll never forget that feeling, knowing Georgia was taking a step into the future. We will not and can not let Donald Trump and his allies cut away at our democracy by blocking voters and disregarding our voices. We refuse to be silent when they undermine election certification. This year’s election is pivotal: it will determine whether we move forward as a nation or lose our democracy piece by piece. That’s why, from now until November 1, we must educate voters on their power and mobilize turnout. November 5 is the last day to vote, but we’ll work right up until the polls close. We can win this, Georgia — I know we can. Thank you, Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock DONATE

FAIR FIGHT: the GEORGIA State Election Board is out of line

 

Our new ad calls out the reckless actions of the Georgia State Election Board, and we wanted to make sure you saw it. Pro-Trump members are changing election rules in an effort to help Trump in 2024 by giving him the power to veto our votes. Their actions are illegal — and Governor Brian Kemp can shut them down. Keep reading to learn more, and thank you for being part of this fight. Team Fair Fight MAGA extremists on the Georgia State Election Board are not backing down from their efforts that could ease the way for election sabotage — and we’re making sure voters are aware of their actions by launching a new ad. FIRST: Three of the board’s five members cast doubts on the results of the 2020 Presidential election. THEN: The same three MAGA members on the board changed Georgia’s election rules in a way that could delay or block the certification of results of the 2024 election.  NOW: The board is being sued for violating the law and changing election rules (in a way that conflicts with state law) in a likely attempt to help Trump. We refuse to be silent when our votes are on the line. Our new ad highlights these harmful actions, urges Governor Brian Kemp to take action, and encourages folks who care about independent elections to call Kemp and demand he remove these MAGA board members. We will keep putting pressure on anti-voter politicians to stop attacks like these, but we rely on grassroots support to make sure our message is heard. These extremists are laying the groundwork to contest the results of the upcoming election, and even Georgia’s Republican Attorney General Chris Carr has called their actions illegal. Georgia is once again a battleground state, and our votes will be pivotal to the final results of the election. Donald Trump and his MAGA team are well aware of our status and are doing everything in their power to interfere with our state’s election. It’s up to us, to ensure every voice is heard in this election, because too much is at stake. Getting this ad in front of people means more chances to stop the SEB’s actions.  We won’t stand for attacks on our rights — thank you for supporting this work. Fair Fight Next Friday, September 20, the pro-Trump Election Board members will be meeting to pass even more changes to our election rules.            1270 Caroline Street | Suite D120-430 | Atlanta, GA 30307
