Pamela, None of us want to wake up the morning after Election Day wondering if we could have done more. Over the next five weeks, we must generate massive voter turnout and make sure we can elect enough Democracy Champions to enough offices to turn back the tide on rising autocracy. That’s why I’m grateful that Fair Fight is strategically investing in critical races where they can thwart the MAGA takeover. But they need our support as they double down on their urgent Georgia Takes the House campaign to flip the State House from red to blue. I’ll be honest: there’s a real chance we could fall just short. We could gain nine seats instead of the required 10. We could lose by a miniscule margin. In 2024, one Georgia State House race got decided by just 48 votes. And new polling shows that voters still need to learn more about candidates Fair Fight has endorsed before we can get them over the finish line. Every donation today can help get out the vote for Democracy Champions, fund vital voter protection work, and defend free and fair elections in 2026 and beyond. So I need to ask: Can you make an urgent gift today before the September 30 end-of-quarter deadline? A little investment goes a long way for downballot races — which shape how elections are run in our local communities.

If we miss this window to flip the Georgia State House, we might not have another chance for a long time.
Enough seats are in play right now to get it done. But if Republicans hang onto control, even by just a sliver, they could ram through new rigged voting maps and inflate their majority through gerrymandering. With an iron grip on the General Assembly, Republicans could keep passing bills that shred voting rights and hurt working people. These elections aren’t about scoring political points. They’re about changing people's lives — making sure more people can send their kids to public schools with enough teachers and books, can go to the doctor without going broke, and can get relief from rising costs. The path to victory is realistic, but still uphill, and Fair Fight is counting on an increase in grassroots fundraising as they ramp up their proven model of outreach, education, and voter protection in these critical final weeks. I founded Fair Fight because I wasn’t willing to sit back as our democracy and the freedom the vote were attacked, and I know you’re on this team because you aren’t willing to stay on the sidelines either. Please make a donation by the September 30 deadline if you can to help put our pro-democracy values into action. Thank you, Stacey Abrams P.S. Keep an eye on your inbox for another opportunity to strengthen — and show your support — for our pro-voter movement. Fair Fight is about to launch their new official online shop, with t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and stickers you can proudly wear or display to send timely messages about the importance of voting.
