Solartopia Green Power and Wellness Hour - 11.25.20

GRASSROOTS GEORGIA

 

In the midst of this historic call, we get two major pieces of news:  Trump has released funds for the Biden transition, and Sen. Diane Feinstein will step down from the minority chair of Senate Judiciary Committee.  

 

 

The fate of the US Senate now turns on two high-profile races in Georgia.  Getting out the vote along with protecting the vote count are at the core of the American future.

 

We cover this hallowed ground in our GRASSROOTS EMERGENCY ELECTION PROTECTION ZOOM #28.

 

We begin with the great ANDREA MILLER, whose People Demanding Action is leading the grassroots Get-Out-The-Vote movement on the ground in Georgia.

 

We’re joined by Ray McClelland, political director of the Atlanta NAACP.

 

DANIEL SHEEHAN of the Dakota Pipeline Resistance and the Indigenous movement for voter rights checks in.

 

As does HEDY TRIPP, who informs us of movements among the Muslim and South Asian communities to protect and count the vote.

 

With the usual crew of genius Election Protection activists, we cover the hallowed ground of the movement that gave us hand-marked/counted paper ballots.

 

There is no doubt  this way of voting protected the swing state recounts, and changed the outcome of this election.  Can we do it again in 2024?
