													Friend – Georgia is ground zero for our fight to keep the Senate blue, so I need you to read this critical update about where things stand: | 
| 
													FIRST: Our people-powered movement defied the polls and pundits by turning out in historic numbers to flip Georgia and the Senate for Democrats. | 
| 
													THEN: Georgia Republicans started to ram through new voter suppression legislation in a shameful effort to silence voters and prevent Democrats from winning elections. Just last week, Gov. Kemp (R) signed into law a sweeping voter suppression bill so restrictive that Stacey Abrams calls it "Jim Crow 2.0." | 
| 
													NOW: Republicans are launching attack ads against me and my crucial efforts to protect and expand voting rights – and CNN confirms I'm the most vulnerable Democratic senator up for reelection. | 
| 
													With the Senate split 50-50, the GOP needs to flip just ONE seat to take back control for Mitch McConnell – and they're coming after me as their top target for defeat. I'm proud to serve as Georgia's first ever Black senator and help lead the fight for voting rights – but the truth is, I can't protect my battleground seat without your urgent grassroots support. | 
| 
													I need another 3,278 folks to become End-of-Quarter Founding Donors of our reelection campaign before tomorrow's critical FEC deadline – but time is running out, and we're not on track to hit our goal. | 
| 
													So please, friend: Will you give $5 or more now – as much as you can spare by midnight tonight – to become one of the essential End-of-Quarter Founding Donors we need to fight back against GOP-led voter suppression efforts, keep Georgia blue and defend our Democratic Senate majority? |
