Today more than ever, American democracy needs fearless advocacy for voting rights and social equity. After a historic 2020 election changed the course of politics nationally and in the South, a fierce reaction has set in. STAND-UP, with its coalition of progressive allies, helped flip the State of Georgia, shifting the political balance in the South and holding the line against conservative domination of national policy.
Now Georgia is leading the nation in voter suppression efforts. Our opponents have targeted STAND-UP’s non-partisan voter education and registration campaigns that added over 15,000 new voters to the rolls, reinstated purged voters, and motivated citizens to turn out in unprecedented numbers both for the 2020 presidential contest and the important senate run-off elections. Your support helped us achieve those amazing wins, but that success has triggered even more aggressive attempts to deny citizens ballot access through manipulation and intimidation.
STAND-UP is meeting this threat head-on. Please support our efforts to sustain the front lines of social advocacy that seeks to achieve deep, lasting progressive change. With the 2022 midterms already in full swing, leading to the 2024 national elections—perhaps a defining moment in our national destiny—your contribution will ensure that STAND-UP remains fully engaged, building on the successes already achieved while battling to maintain progressive momentum in Atlanta and the South.
