We Vote. We Win. Brings “Street Heat” to Georgia
Atlanta, GA – Advocacy group We Vote.We Win. is bringing the “street heat” to Georgia with a robust canvassing and phone outreach plan to get Georgia voters to the polls. Since February, the organization has knocked on 245,621 doors with a 55.1% contact rate and has attempted to reach 425,682 individuals with a 31% contact rate. These numbers remained steady since August, with a 53.2% contact rate on 181,588 doors knocked and a 30% contact rate among 314,934 individuals*. Additionally, they have had nearly 75,000 phone conversations with potential voters across Georgia.
*Doors knocked represent households, while individual numbers reflect single contacts that may represent the same household.
“We aren’t taking anything for granted this year,” stated We Vote.We Win. Founder and CEO Deborah Scott. “It is important to touch as many voters as possible and let them know that their participation this election season and every election cycle is pivotal to the future of Georgia and this country.”
The mission of We Vote. We Win. is to advocate for policies that reduce inequality, increase minority representation, and generate power for marginalized communities by increasing voter turnout through education, civic engagement, leadership development, and direct action. The vision of We Vote We Win is to secure and preserve universal, equal access to the right to vote for all citizens regardless of heritage, race, creed, class, or social status.
We Vote. We Win., a 501 (c)(4) organization, originated in 2014 as part of an effort to expand transit services to minority populations on Atlanta’s Southside, many of whom lacked private automobiles. These citizens were largely unable to pursue jobs, shopping, and other everyday activities that were concentrated in neighborhoods far from their location—mostly to the city’s north.
