Hi Jess - great story! Here is info on Ride to the Polls - which are FREE - that you can use next time: New Georgia Project - 800-874-1541 (Call first if county is covered)
The website takes voters to a form to request a ride
So in this case this gentleman needed a lot of extra help. I knew there were ride services out there but he needed more. He needed...a voting doula. Shiggy did that. (:
This is such a beautiful story - and the people in GA who are willing to help their fellow voters are such a perfect example of what we want America to be. I am so glad you shared this!
This story of democracy-in-action is FANTASTIC!! Please do share this with the wider world, if Ralph and Shiggy are game. A lesson in sooooo many ways. Thank you!!!
Yes there are ride to the polls orgs, but you created your own ride to the polls and that made a huge difference. My question is: Now that you completed your mission, are you going to make a TikTok about it?
This intro is phenomenal & makes me smile. It is reinforcing, inspiring, incredible, & heartwarming. What a great country we live in... American ingenuity. Keep hustling! Thanks for sharing.
WHAT A STORY! - I didn’t get home till the Senate offices were closed - but I called anyway and left a message- how could I NOT with this great example of persistence, caring and follow through- I think I will print it out and put it on my computer for those down days! WOOT!🎉🎊👏🏻 you go JESS ! YOU ROCK! (And so does Shiggy and Ralph!)
