Fundraiser for Georgia run off election
Join Barry and Joanne Lynn through Zoom on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 7:00 PM
Donate here to help flip the Senate and help voting advocates in Georgia - https://movement.vote/funds/ga-fund/
We have often held events for candidates and causes we believe in, and now it's essential that highly qualified Democratic candidates - Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock - win the two hotly contested Senate races in Georgia on January 5. That would overcome Senator Mitch McConnell's relentless efforts to stall all meaningful legislation and enable the new Administration to move forward on healthcare, racial justice, environmental protection and all the issues that matter to all of us.
Movement Voter Project
There are probably other folks asking you for money to affect the Georgia election. We truly believe that the most effective way to win this runoff is through the Movement Voter Project, which raises funds for the grassroots groups in Georgia. In the November election, they helped make a difference for the Biden/Harris victory. They could do the same for the Senate and they will keep working right through election day!
100% of donations to MVP’s Georgia Fund go to grassroots groups working on the ground, including groups you may have heard of, like Black Voters Matter Fund and New Georgia Voter Project, and lots of smaller, incredibly effective groups you probably haven’t heard about yet, including Black Male Voter Project, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Song Power.
Ethan Herschenfeld
We have partnered with our friend Ethan Herschenfeld (pictured, comedian and actor) to host this event on Sunday, December 13, at 7pm Eastern to raise funds for a powerful voting rights project.
Ethan Herschenfeld is an accomplished stand-up comedian, actor, and award winning opera singer. He's been a guest star on many television shows including Blue Bloods, and the Plot Against America. Ethan’s debut comedy album, “Thug Thug Jew”, hit NUMBER ONE on iTunes.
Guy Davis
We will also enjoy a few songs by the extraordinary American Roots musician Guy Davis - who has recorded over a dozen albums, garnered countless awards and nominations including a Grammy nomination for “Best Traditional Blues Album”, traveled the world as an "ambassador" for the blues, and (as a few of you may remember), participated in our Americans United "Voices for Separation of Church and State" project with the folks at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama some years ago. He is the son of the legendary actor/activists Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, themselves brilliant actors and civil rights icons and carries on their tradtion of supporting those in need.
You can find him online at www.guydavis.com
