| Pamela, the Georgia General Assembly is back in session — so we're on high alert. For the first few months of the year, our lawmakers have a chance to write, debate, and pass laws that tackle critical issues, from access to health care and the cost of living to public education. But all too often, anti-voter extremists use this time period to advance legislation that restricts our freedoms, including the freedom to vote. In recent years, new Georgia laws have criminalized handing out food and water to voters in line, imposed burdensome voter ID requirements, made mass voter purges easier, and placed unnecessary limits on ballot drop boxes. And what happens in Georgia doesn't stay in Georgia — our state has become a laboratory for new voter suppression measures that spread across the country. So in the next couple of months before the legislative session ends, we need to be ready for anything. Your donation today can help make sure our team is able to mobilize against anti-voter bills at a moment's notice. Can you contribute $30 or any amount today? If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: Last year, activists like you helped fend off new attempts at voter suppression in the 2025 legislative session — including cuts to early voting, a ban on dropping off mail ballots over the weekend before Election Day, and expanded partisan poll watcher access to sensitive areas in elections offices. Those pieces of legislation fit into a broader pattern of limiting who gets a say in our democracy. And we fought back alongside a pro-voting rights coalition. Through legislative tracking, lobbying legislators, public advocacy and education that included a Grassroots Lobby Day at the Capitol, rallying constituents to contact key lawmakers, and more, we helped protect free and fair elections. None of those bills ended up passing. But as anti-democracy extremists continue to escalate their efforts, we have to be ready to push back even harder — so that every voter has the freedom to make their voice heard. New threats could emerge at any moment, but your donation right now would help shore up our defenses. Make a contribution as we stay vigilant against anti-voter bills during this Georgia legislative session and beyond. In solidarity, The Fair Fight Action Team |
