Pro-Defund the Police Group Launches Campaign to Boost Democrat Raphael Warnock

Sean Moran 2 Dec 2020

ATLANTA — The Working Families Party, which advocates for defunding the police, will host phone banks for Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock throughout the rest of the runoff election.

The Working Families Party announced that it will host phone banking opportunities through January 5, the day of the Senate runoff election.

Progressive leaders such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have signed the Working Families Party “People’s Charter.”

The group endorsed Warnock’s bid to unseat Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA).

The Working Families Party calls for defunding America’s law enforcement and shifting law enforcement funding towards housing and health care for “Black and brown people, immigrants, and Indigenous people.”

The Working Families Party’s phone banking for Warnock follows as Black Lives Matter PAC pledged to raise half a million dollars to boost Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Warnock’s bid to unseat Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) and Loeffler.
