Help Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff win their Georgia Senate Runoffs on January 5, 2021.
What follows is a bundle of useful information that will help you help Georgians lift Warnock and Ossoff to victory in the twin Senate runoff elections on January 5, 2021. Please bookmark it so you don’t miss any small updates we might add over the next few months.
Here’s job one: Spread the word to friends and family in Georgia about voting on January 5, 2021. (The deadline to register to vote in time for this election passed on December 7, 2020.)
Early voting for the Georgia runoffs opens on:
MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2020
…and ends on
Friday, January 1, 2021
Here is the direct link for Georgia residents to request a mail-in ballot for the runoffs, courtesy of @Taniel:

We also need to center and support organizations already on the ground in Georgia who will turn out the Democratic vote.
The New Georgia Project encourages civic engagement among Georgians, and is a leader in helping them register to vote. See the New Georgia Project website:

This comes to OTYCD via @renay, and it was originally tweeted by @MalaikaJabali. It is a Google Doc listing relevant groups in Georgia that are lead by people of color, created by They See Blue Georgia. (Some are repeats of orgs mentioned elsewhere in this post, and, fair warning, we haven’t had a chance to vet some of the groups):
Also worth bookmarking is this Google Doc of slides created by Ana Diaz-Hernandez, who has roots in south Georgia. She will continue to update the slides throughout the next two months.

Postcards to Swing States has launched a Georgia-specific sequel, with the cards going in the mail between December 26 and December 28, 2020.
This time, the organizers are selling the pre-printed Georgia cards. Prices start at $9 for 50. It also appears that they’ve designated a set number of bundles–as of November 14, 2020, the 750-card option was sold out.
Volunteer writers will receive addresses on email and are expected to provide their own postage.

Update, November 6, 2020: Stacey Abrams sent a thank-you tweet that included several handles for people who have helped build things up in Georgia. We’ve added them below. It might make sense for you to create a list on Twitter for Georgia contacts, so you can check it a few times a day.
