Voter turnout will likely decide a razor-thin election in Georgia and, more specifically, whether low-propensity Democratic voters cast ballots. No group may matter more in this regard than Georgia’s young people of color, who make up nearly half of all 18-29-year-old voters in the state.
To turn out these voters, donors should support the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, the premier youth organizing group in the state. In 2022, it led the largest youth-mobilizing effort in Georgia, reaching tens of thousands of young voters. It has ramped up its work dramatically this year and says it has already knocked on 100,000 doors, with a plan to knock on 100,000 more. GYJC hosts multiple organizing events every week around Georgia to engage young people and also runs virtual phone banking sessions.
This organization’s work could decide who wins Georgia—and, in a very close election, who wins the presidency. So far, though, GYJC has still not raised enough money to fund its voter outreach work through November 5 and needs another $250,000—or less than the cost of a single national campaign ad on prime time TV this fall. I hope you can pitch in to close the gap.
