Excerpts from talk by Seth Rosen of Sunrise Movement, Georgia:

Standing up in Georgia
Video still / Sunrise Movement

“For many of us, this election was about a new growing vibrant diverse South . . .  about learning from and working with the black organizers who have been doing this work here for decades . . . about young people taking back our future from absent and lying politicians who make profit off the backs of essential workers as over 10,000 Georgians died of COVID-19 . . . about the people we’ve brought into the movement, about politicians who we’ve elected, who work for us, and getting them to back the Green New Deal. We know the violence [at the Capitol] was a response to the successful organizing . . . contacting almost 800,000 voters . . . Our opponents are powerful, but we’re the majority and we’re more powerful. The South is shaping the politics of this country. . .  And we’re sure to fight for a livable future.”
