ATLANTA, GA -- Today, the Sierra Club launched a new voter engagement program in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, in support of Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff. Starting this week, the new peer-to-peer texting program will have Sierra Club volunteers reaching out to more than 14,000 voters in the district, in advance of the special election on Tuesday, April 18. Voters will receive a persuasion text this week and reminders to vote on Saturday and Monday.
In response, Ariel Hayes, Deputy Political Director of the Sierra Club, released the following statement:
“When it comes to protecting Georgia’s clean air, clean water, and natural beauty, Jon Ossoff is the clear choice in the 6th District. The Sierra Club’s members and supporters are confident that Jon will be a champion to put the health of our families and our environment first, and this new program helps us spread the word.”
