Amen! V Magazine Gets Out the Vote in Georgia In New Civics Lesson Appeal

Anne of Carversville is grateful to V Magazine for this latest all-hands-on-deck call to action to save America’s flawed democracy. We share V’s digital covers for a special Georgia Edition because TUESDAY JAN. 5, 2020, the world’s eyes are on Georgia. The state’s upset Biden victory in November rocked the world and gave us all hope.

Photographers Inez and Vinoodh are back in action, post Biden’s V-sponsored win, for another attempt at a brass ring victory that will have people weeping in the streets. The cast of progressive voices getting out the Georgia vote for an American win include Akon Adichol, Alexis Ruby, Hailey Bieber, John Legend, Lee Daniels, Lily Aldridge, Maxwell, Niyo Malik, Oslo Grace, Precious Lee, and Quannah Chasinghorse.

As Trump’s primarily lily white voters exercise every option that pops into their “it’s God’s will that white people rule” minds to argue against a Tuesday triumph, Georgia is now up against the wall. The time is now — but with a seriously positive chance to deliver two new Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Such an upset would insure a 50-50 split Senate, with VP-elect Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote.

Simply stated, we will ALL LOSE OUR MINDS, whatever our party affiliation, if Democrats win on Tuesday.

AOC is a long-time supporter of Stacey Abrams — back to 2011 — when she took to the Georgia statehouse floor to explain that women are not lcattle. Women should not be forced to carry dead fetuses in our wombs until nature decides to expel them “naturally”. A Republican state legislator advocated for the new legislation putting women’s mental and physical health at risk — a decaying fetus in the womb sends the body into toxic shock and eventual death. That barnburner speech was AOC’s introduction to Stacey Abrams, and so we admire what Stacey has done to organize Georgia Democrats.

In my opinion V Magazine paints the way forward — the new political action mindset among progressives. V has stepped up to the head of the pack in understanding that cultural creatives appreciate great design and fine fashion, but we appreciate our flawed freedoms even more. V is a model for how our brains are working — and this is not their first rodeo around civic action. They pull out all the stops.
