🇩🇪 Turning Germany Blue - Volunteer with DAG 🇺🇸
We're building a grassroots organization of U.S. Democrats all over Germany. We were able to grow and build a strong volunteer base in 2020, but there is still room to grow. We will need to turn out in 2024 and sustain the momentum necessary to protect and improve our democracy. Democrats Abroad is an organization run entirely by volunteers, and the time you give, in any amount, contributes to meaningful progress. Below you'll find opportunities to join our volunteer community at the national and local level. Whether you have a specific skill set, an area of expertise, or are just looking for any way to get involved, your help is welcome and very much appreciated.
Will you join us?

Georgia US Senate Run-off Election 5 January 2021
Elections were held for both of Georgia’s US Senate seats on November 3, 2020. Both of these races are going to Runoff elections, to be held on January 5, 2021, as no candidate received at least 50% of the vote. Democrats need to win both of these seats to have a majority in the Senate so we can have progress in America and the world.
The two races are:
-
US Senate: Jon Ossoff (Democrat) versus David Perdue (Republican)
-
US Senate Special: Raphael Warnock (Democrat) versus Kelly Loeffler (Republican)
Both US Senate races in Georgia are going to a run-off election on January 5th, 2021. Ballots will not be available until Nov 21, GA has said they would send out ballot even if the recount isn't finished.Here's what you should do:Posted by Angela Fobbs
