Hello,

We rallied hard for change this election cycle -- and although we voted Joe Biden and Kamala Harris into the White House, the truth is we’ll still need one final push to ensure their leadership makes a difference.

If Democrats win both seats in the Georgia Senate runoffs, we will control the Senate starting on January 20 -- and Kamala Harris will have the power to break ties in the chamber while Mitch McConnell sits idly by.

That future is possible -- and it isn’t far-fetched. Both Democratic candidates, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, came within 1 or 2 percentage points of winning more votes than their Republican opponents. And we saw in real time how grassroots action flipped Georgia blue for Joe Biden for the first time in decades.

But the GOP is counting on your apathy to keep its Senate majority.

As FiveThirtyEight has warned us, “Now that Biden is the president-elect, many Democratic voters may feel that their mission has been accomplished and not bother to vote in the runoff. This is exactly what happened in previous Georgia runoffs.”

In nearly every Georgia runoff since the 1960s, Republican vote share margins improved from the general election -- all because Democratic turnout fell sharply. We need to ensure that every eligible Democratic voter casts their ballot so Democrats can finally take back the Senate -- but right now, we don’t have the funds we need to effectively enact our voter outreach strategy in Georgia.

 

The fact is, if Republicans keep control of the Senate, you know they’ll block all of the progressive legislation we fought so hard to defend in this election. Mitch McConnell would love nothing more than to prevent the blue wall from reaching Washington. But we have the power to make sure it does. Starting soon, we could have a government that works for us -- but we need your help. Will you pitch in whatever you can now to help us take back the Senate and ensure that every single eligible Democratic voter casts their ballot in the Georgia runoffs?

 

 

Thank you for not walking away when we need you most.

With your help, we’ll finally put an end to Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard.
