Love & Democracy: The Women Who Made It Happen in the 2020 Elections

 

Love & Democracy: The Women Who Made It Happen in the 2020 Elections Hey, THOMAS You know the saying: For every great woman, there are lots of great women standing behind her! That's the beautiful network of women who turned out record-numbers of voters in Georgia. Women like Nsé Ufot, Executive Director, New Georgia Project, one of Stacy Abrams organizations responsible for those powerful GOTV numbers and Jotaka Eaddy, who was the force behind the #OWNYourVote initiative and Oprah Winfrey's voter engagement strategy. Both are joining us on November 21st at Love & Democracy, and we want you there! Next Saturday, we will tell the real story of the hard work on the ground and the stories that the media have missed about the power of organizing and who is behind it. Our goal is to provide solid election analysis and a community forum of support, love and hope and healing.
