Deirdre's Story
Georgia's population is growing and becoming increasingly diverse. Over the past decade, the population of Georgia increased 18%. The Rising American Electorate (RAE) - people of color, those 18 to 29 years of age, and unmarried women - is a significant part of that growth. The RAE makes up 62% of the voting age population in Georgia, but they are only 53% of registered voters.
THE NEW GEORGIA PROJECT IS A NONPARTISAN EFFORT TO REGISTER AND CIVICALLY ENGAGE THESE GEORGIANS.
The unregistered voting population, particularly from underserved communities, is not an issue for tomorrow, it is at a critical point today. The New Georgia Project is committed to expanding the number of registered voters and increasing access to the polls.
-- Stacey Abrams, Founder of the New Georgia Project
