In 2020, over 40,000 PCCC members donated nearly $700,000 to help Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff, and local groups in Georgia -- and their victories gave us the Democratic majority in the Senate and President Biden's win in Georgia.
Now, their work is under attack by Georgia Republicans who just passed a dangerous voter suppression law that could disenfranchise millions of voters and make it harder for Democrats like Sen. Raphael Warnock to win in 2022.
All the groups on this page are engaging critical communities (Black, Latinx, AAPI, and youth). Many have been building infrastructure in Georgia for years. And their work turning out voters in 2022 just got harder and even more important.
Can you contribute what you can to these local groups on the ground in Georgia and our work to fight voter suppression?
