New Georgia Project shuts down, ending a decade of political influence in state

[Dulcinea]

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Once one of the most influential political groups in the South, the New Georgia Project is shutting down this week, marking a stunning fall for an organization that pushed to advance Democratic causes for more than a decade.

The New Georgia Project’s board of directors said in a statement Thursday that the organization and an affiliated action fund are both dissolving but encouraged others to continue supporting “values of justice, integrity and equity” that guided their work.

“As we close this chapter, we recognize that the work of building a just and truthful world remains urgent,” the statement read. “This moment calls for strong and courageous leaders to step forward, guided by principle and purpose.”

Founded in 2013 by two-time gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and later championed by U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the group once boasted a multimillion-dollar budget, a sprawling field team and an ambitious mission “to build power for long-term progressive change.”

3. Without buying the online paper

Without buying the paper, was it resolved due to financial problems, or other reasons…. Either way, just because that organization closes, does not stop any Georgian or any American that supports that cause to hit the streets and carry out what they started. Become a poll worker, drive seniors or any voting aged people to the polls if needed. We can do this.
