IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Georgia Democrats’ 2022 Statewide Coordinated Campaign Opens First Field Office with Reverend Warnock and Stacey Abrams

This past Saturday, the “Georgia Votes” Coordinated Campaign gathered in Sandy Springs to open its first field office of the cycle following its launch last week. Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Reverend Raphael Warnock, and Stacey Abrams, spoke to a large crowd of volunteers and voters before a ribbon cutting ceremony.

The Coordinated Campaign is Georgia Democrats’ unified statewide campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2022. Serving as a central hub of Georgia’s political infrastructure, the Coordinated Campaign will be laser-focused on training and organizing Democrats to help get out of the vote and engage Georgians, especially communities of color, ahead of November. It will also include a robust voter protection team to strengthen efforts to combat voter suppression.
