VOTE! For John Lewis

Don protégé
Georgia is blue, but the work is not over. 

We must continue to inspire and inform Georgians in order to increase civic engagement and voter turnout.

We will be replacing hundreds of banners with new messages from John Lewis that include the early voting dates (Dec 14-31) for the Georgia Senate run-off.

We will continue to focus on the 7 key counties around Atlanta, including: Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Henry, Douglas, Gwinnett and Cobb, which represent over 40% of GA voters. High turnout in these counties is essential to the success of any progressive politician in a statewide election.

We have set a goal and hope to raise an additional $12,500. The more we raise, the more signs we're able to distribute.

100% of the money raised will go towards the printing, and installation of banners, billboards, and additional signage. There are NO staff, overhead, design, or administrative costs.

“Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part.” - John Lewis

EXAMPLE DESIGN:



INITIAL CAMPAIGN [ENDED OCT 13]

John Lewis is a civil-rights icon who dedicated his life to the never-ending fight for social justice. He was the personification of “walking the walk.”

This campaign is a tribute to John Lewis' legacy and a continuation of his life's work.

In his words, "I have been beaten, my skull fractured and arrested more than forty times so that each and every person has the right to register and vote. Do your part. Get out there and vote like you’ve never voted before."

For the past 33 years he proudly served in the US House of Representatives for Georgia's 5th congressional district.

But this year, for the first time since 1986, Georgian’s won’t have the opportunity to vote for John Lewis... That's why in 2020 we MUST vote in honor of John Lewis.

#wearehislegacy

This is a citizen-led initiative to spread John Lewis' message across Georgia in the run-up to this historic election in which the “Soul of Our Nation” is at stake.
 
We hope to increase civic engagement and increase voter turnout.

In total, we distributed 2,761 billboards, banners, posters, and yard signs in 7 crucial counties across Georgia.

Signage Breakdown:
-> Billboards = 21
-> Posters = 1,710
-> Yard Signs = 640
-> Banners = 400

EVERY sign included the early voting dates (Oct 12-30), and we hope our signs have helped inspire and educate Georgia voters.

Here is the breakdown of the counties we targeted as a % of votes for Joe Biden...

Clayton = 85% (0.45% more than 2016)
DeKalb = 83.1% (2.66% more than 2016)
Fulton = 72.60% (3.61% more than 2016)
Douglas = 62% (8.00% more than 2016)
Henry = 59.7% (8.77% more than 2016)
Gwinnett = 58.4% (7.38% more than 2016)
Cobb = 56.4% (7.51% more than 2016)

100% of the money raised will be spent on media and marketing materials. There are NO staff, overhead, design, or administrative costs. Any additional money raised will fund additional billboards, yard signs, posters, etc. We will provide a full breakdown of expenses following the campaign. Michael Walbert will be withdrawing and administering all of the funds raised.
