With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!

Congratulations to our next U.S. Senator,
@ReverendWarnock
. Last January, I endorsed my dear friend in his quest to serve. Soon, he will walk those august halls & cast votes as a leader with courage, justice and integrity.
God bless you and keep you in your service to us all.
Nine weeks of hustle & outreach. Nine weeks of believing we are in this together. Decades of strategy, grit + building. Wednesday’s terrorism seeks to distract us from what has been & what will be. So let’s take today to celebrate the orgs that brought us Tuesday’s victory:

Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted.
#Election2020
Congratulations, Mr. President-Elect! Georgians look forward to adding our votes to the total once all voices are heard — and together, we will restore the soul of this nation.
Breaking: With more votes left to count, more Georgia Dems voted in last week’s primary than ever. 1,074,766 counted so far, surpassing 2008. This of course does not include all those who were unable to vote because of suppression. But Georgia Dems are fired up.
#gapol
Tomorrow evening, we must remain calm and patient as we wait for election workers to do their job safely. After Georgians do our part by casting our ballots, it is time to trust the process and the people making our democracy work.

Republicans allowed Donald Trump to incite an insurrection without consequence, and now they want to allow insurrectionists to determine state voting laws. We cannot allow laws to be written based on a lie. We must protect the right to vote.

Think of it this way: an impeachment inquiry is like a grand jury process, not a trial. The House is the D.A. gathering evidence. The target has no right to cross-examine or call witnesses. The results of the inquiry will be articles of impeachment. Then comes the trial...
Think about if you went through a trial, but you weren't allowed to call any witnesses. That's what Speaker Pelosi is doing to President Trump right now.
This entire process is a sham.
From passage of the
#SB202
voter suppression bill targeted at Black and brown voters to the arrest of a Black legislator who was advocating for the voting rights of her constituents, today was a reminder of Georgia’s dark past. We must fight for the future of our democracy
#gapol
A bright note: So far, 858K Democratic votes have been counted in Georgia (in spite of all obstacles), and many more remain to count. By comparison, in the 2016 primary, 761K Ds voted.
Every vote must be counted, and we must fight for every eligible Georgian’s right to be heard.
Congratulations to the Texas Democrats, activists and advocates for protecting the freedom to vote until the very last hour to defeat the Jim Crow 2.0 bill

Today should have been Trayvon Martin’s 24th birthday – but his life was ripped from us too soon in a grotesque act of violence and bigotry. In his memory, we must recommit ourselves to ending racism and gun violence.
Our country is made better by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s voice and leadership in Congress. I am thankful for her courage and praying for her safety.

This week, there is a coordinated attack on voting rights. GOP-led legislatures in GA, AZ & NH are pushing dozens of bills to make it harder for people of color & young people to vote. We voted in Nov & instead of listening, they are trying to shut us out of the process. 1/18

The January 6th attack was a warning. Today, Republicans block a bi-partisan investigation so they can defend the Big Lie & appease insurrectionists. And they've pushed 400+ anti-voter bills + new laws to subvert elections at the state level. We must defend our democracy. Now.

Our hearts are with the families of the AAPI women slain yesterday. Hatred is infectious and cumulative - it begins w pejoratives about race and evolves into acts of unspeakable violence. We must do more than condemn. Our responsibility is to protect and defend. By word and deed.

Also deserving attention: The number of Georgians who overcame the obstacles.
