Yesterday, thanks to the longstanding organizing efforts by and of communities of color, Georgia voters showed up in incredible numbers and tipped the scales towards a Democrat majority in the Senate.
Here are some of our favorite posts about this historic win:

Two years ago @GovKemp said: “I have a big truck in case I have to round up ‘criminal illegals.’” Today, Black & Brown GA voters continue to show up for change. Thanks to GA, the promise of immigration reform, is closer than ever.

She raised the money. She built the orgs. She wouldn't let them steal that election. @staceyabrams taught me to go after my dreams and to put in the damn work every single day no matter what.

We're so thankful for the roller coaster of the last 6 weeks. Whatever happens, we will still be here to advocate for our communities and continue to build power among AAPI's in Georgia. #AllEyesOnGeorgia https://t.co/x6Di9ApPes

For the record: Sen. Elect Raphael Warnock will be the first GA Black Senator, he is pro-choice, pro-immigrant, pro-poor-working people and from the South. #NoMoreExcuses #DemocraticParty #BeBold . Shoutout to all the Black-Latino-Asian organizers that made magic happen tonight.

Ossoff & Warnock both ran on a PRO immigrant platform in the South.
