May a lurker connected to getting out the vote in Georgia be inspired and come up with some creative ways to help people vote.
I bet there will be people giving free things to others BEFORE they get in line as well as after. I love the visual you painted Jeanne, a true celebration instead of oppression.
Peaches for everyone!
The Suez Canal has been blocked for some time now. Fears of shortages loom.
@jeanne-mayell A native Georgian here , I have fought the status quo my whole life, I was appalled at that dog and pony show. Big burly caucasian good ole boys - dressed in 3 piece suits and flanking the boy faced wonder as he signed that disgrace in to law with nary a woman nor person of color in sight. A painting of now called Calloway Gardens - a plantation built by slave labor. A Representative- black woman -Was arrested, handcuffed and hauled to jail - for knocking on the door - asking to be present and see our voting rights signed away. Dr. King, John Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and so many more are with us and watching. Rev. Warnock got her out of jail - the ramifications not lost on any of us working towards unity and a better future for us all. The only way the GOP can win here now? Is by changing up all the rules we have played by... they know it, we know it. I ❤️ The idea of people coming en masse to support us standing in line, getting our say, in spite of their machinations, overcoming by sheer numbers of determined people to "speak" with their vote thrills me to the core! Living in an area that elected Marjorie Taylor Greene, those of us who have , and are ,steadfastly networking , would consider it an honor that validates ALL of voices here... not just the QAnon trumpists. Intuition/Spirit about rigged voting machines, says that what they are accusing us of?!? They have done and that it needs to come out before 2022 elections. Timeline is important here... we are still fighting these battles - let us remain resolute and bring home the victory to We, the people. ??✨
@enkasongwriter it is freed! The rising tides ( full moon tides) have raised it free.
The great ideas here are inspiring. I love the idea to make it a national holiday - why the hec not? I'm assuming that this never happened because the GOP have squashed the idea, but I truly don't know how much effort groups have put into doing this. I would love to also see singers, celebrities, etc. come out to assist in GA during the next elections.
I can already see Jane Fonda doing so now....!
Let me know where I can send a giant box of peaches to be handed out to voters in Georgia! ?
@journeywithme2 When is the next big election in Georgia? Anything this year or is it mainly the midterms in 2022 we are worried about next? I live only a couple hours drive from the state line-- maybe I could get brave and hand out peaches or something.
@ana Next big will be 2022 Rev Warnock will again be campaigning for his Senate seat, Gov Kemp will be fighting for his... the laws they have passed MUST be challenged and changed- it has granted unconscionable power to the GOP to invalidate/change the results!!! They can only win by cheating and are now changing the laws to allow it!!! In plain sight!!! Raffenspurger's political career is dead in the water, after making a stand against their machine. How that small percentage continues to tell us/accuse us of their misdeeds and get away with it continues to baffle me to no end. Providing we can move freely in society and you are close to my sector.. bring your sleeping bags, I'll house and feed up to five people .. more if you bring your tents lol
