Help ME help GEORGIA take the Senate 4 YOU!!!

The Georgia state runoff election is in its last few weeks and it's looking close!  FLIPPING THE SENATE will allow this country to make actual progress on many important and long-standing issues that are holding us back from being our best selves; a country that stands for all, cares about the environment, one that moves onward and upward to make our lives and world a better place.  If we can win both of these Senate seats the first female Vice President of the United States will be the deciding vote and can push forward a progressive agenda.

THAT is why I am heading to Georgia Wednesday to canvass.  To hit the pavement and knock on doors, assist disenfranchised voters, to help GET OUT THE VOTE!  I will be going door to door to educate people about the Democratic candidates who are running (both are stellar), make sure people have plans for voting day and to assist Woke Vote , a non-profit organization working to increase and improve civic participation among historically disengaged voters of color in any way I can. 

From Woke Vote: "At Woke Vote, we believe organizing for turnout is most effective when you execute a series of tactics, in a targeted universe, with a consistent presence. Since our inception we have drastically increased the percentage rate of turnout...the Analyst Institute did a case study on our program model and found that our work is not only highly effective, but also has a higher rate of turnout measure than most traditional programs." 

LISTEN, you know we NEED this win. You WANT this win.  You can't take off time from work or family to head down there AND you hate phone banking because it truly sucks. So, help me  do it in your place.  Help me help you help Georgia, the country and the planet.

Donation usage: 

My costs to do this involve:
-Transportation to and from Georgia (tickets surprisingly aren't cheap)
-Loss of work in NYC
-Car rental for canvassing
-Lodging
-Food

Rewards for your action:

If you donate $60 or more I will send you a photograph from some of my recent owl meanderings. 

I would be happy to send you a 6"x 9" giclee print of this Barred Owl as seen in the NYT recently.

Or maybe this Snowy Owl I shot at Jones Beach, Brooklyn.
Or, some other print you would like.  I don't care!  I am just stoked to go and help out in this election but it costs quite a bit  so asking for your assistance. 

If you send more than $60 we can make you a series of prints or a nice big one. If you get hyper generous we can think of something you need. 

Ok, enough from me. Here are some links about the run-off: 

Great piece: New Yorker article on Runoff 

A wonky one. 

Lastly, if you feel weird helping me do this send some $$ to the candidates or an organization trying to win this thing.  Please.  DONATE 

Warmly, 
Joshua
