Reflecting on our journey, @fairfightaction has turned challenges into milestones since 2019. Our fight for democracy and voting rights has only grown stronger, inspired by the vision and determination of our community. A thread on our progress so far:
1/ In 2019, we launched Fair Fight 2020 where we built or supported voter protection programs in 18 states. The launch video alone captivated 1.7M viewers, setting a precedent for our nationwide impact. washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
2/ The #AbramsPlaybook then took center stage, showcasing the new voter coalition to build power in Georgia and beyond. This strategy was our call to action: to fight for democracy with knowledge and determination. fairfight.com/wp-content/upl…
3/ We didn't stop there. By amplifying the conversation on voter suppression and highlighting GA's pivotal role, we shaped the discourse around the Democratic Presidential Debate in Atlanta, ensuring our fight for fair elections remained front and center. msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…
4/ That same year, FFA was proud to announce individual $10,000 contributions to 11 Georgia-based organizations that protect the right to safe, legal abortion. Together, we're building a stronger, more inclusive future. fairfight.com/fair-fight-act…
5/ In 2020, our Fair Fight U chapter students showed the power of mobilization at UGA, turning a decision to close on-campus voting into a win for democracy. Their action opened not just UGA's arena for voting but inspired GA Tech and ASC to do the same. change.org/p/university-o…
6/ Fighting big to small battles, we ensured Pooler, GA, as an example, couldn't deny voters a drop box. Our rapid response mobilized the community, proving that when we stand together, we can overcome attempts to suppress our votes. savannahnow.com/story/news/pol…
7/ FF went all in to win in 2020/2021; our RockTheRunoff event was a testament to the power of voices united for justice, raising $1.3M+ to help elect Warnock + Ossoff to the Senate. Big thanks to @kerrywashington and everyone else who stood w/ us. facebook.com/FairFightActio…
8/ Launching #CivicsForTheCulture, we bridged education and action, bringing regular voters along with celebs like Selena Gomez into the fight. It's a movement empowering voters with knowledge and tools to make their voices heard. newsone.com/4357380/fair-f…
9/ In 2021, amidst a wave of voter suppression bills in backlash to 2020 wins, we launched PeachVote.com, so Georgians knew how to vote under new rules. Our efforts provided essential tools for navigating the voting process. peachvote.com
