This is a direct example of what communities across Georgia have had
to fight against for way too long. “These kinds of acts of violence and
terror have gone unchecked and tolerated for years while Black and Brown
communities screamed for help from state and national officials in
Georgia. “All [they] did was turn a blind eye because of their
allegiance to the Republican Party and not to the people,” says Rev.
James Woodall, State President of the Georgia NAACP.

The continued endorsement of these baseless claims of election
insecurity and violent attacks on poll workers and election officials by
Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are a testament to this very
truth. “This is a manifestation of racism and dehumanizing oppression
that we fight against every single day. We remain committed to purging
all of it from the American way of life and repenting so that we can
truly move forward together as one unified community,” Rev. Woodall
concludes.
