Sen. Ossoff: “How foolish to launch an attack on voting rights here in Georgia at the political and spiritual center of the very Black history they seek to erase.”
Atlanta, Ga. — On the first Sunday of early voting, the Jon Ossoff for Senate campaign is releasing a video celebrating Souls to the Polls, a longstanding tradition rooted in the Civil Rights Movement that fought to secure the right to vote.
Sen. Ossoff: “The founders of our republic must be turning in their graves but they gave us the tools to fix it, freedoms guaranteed at our founding, made real through struggle and sacrifice in places like Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall.”
Senator Jon Ossoff voted early in person on October 13, the first day of early voting, to encourage Georgians to join him in making their voices heard at the polls.
Early in-person voting ends on Friday, October 30th. Georgians can find their nearest polling location at iwillvote.com.
Sen. Ossoff: “Georgians are prepared to answer with a mobilization so massive and with a defense of voting rights so fierce that no plot against the franchise can foil the will of the people. […] Their attacks only strengthen our resolve, and if all of us here do what we must do, the sound of feet marching to the polls this fall will be heard in every corner of our state, and all the way on high, where Congressman Lewis will look down and see a job well done. Souls to the Polls is a longstanding tradition rooted in the Civil Rights Movement that fought so hard to secure the right to vote. I join you in honoring their legacy as we gather this Sunday and make our voices heard. Vote early. Visit iwillvote.com to find your polling place and vote. Thank you.”
