IT’S STILL ABOUT GEORGIA!
WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
From illegal voter purges to hundreds of poll closures to four-hour lines, Georgia voters have faced a sophisticated, but hauntingly familiar attack on their right to vote. Hundreds of thousands of voters were affected by poor election management and systematic voter suppression, crippling Georgia’s democracy. Join the Fight. Best place to put your money to get staff on the ground. Stacy’s group knows how to do this.
Fair Fight is Fighting Back

Oppose the Governor’s proposed bill that protects those who would interfere with peaceful protests and abridge our Constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of assembly and to petition the government for redress of grievances.
