Hello Mississippi Democrats,
As you all know, we have less than 3 weeks until the runoff elections in Georgia! We’re teaming up with the Ossoff campaign to get as many people involved with the GA Runoffs as possible. Winning these Senate seats will determine what President-Elect Biden and VP-Elect Harris will be able to get done!
They’re counting on our help in Mississippi to win these crucial elections. So, if you want to help out there are many options to get involved, but here are the key 3:
1. If you want to be a digital platform volunteer and use social media to help tell the story and win this campaign, sign up here: https://forms.gle/qM9D1gWHrtxrYtVY7
2. If you want to host a postcard party with friends and family, sign up here to get info: https://www.mobilize.us/electjon/event/366318/
3. If you and your friends are ready to make some calls to Georgia voters to remind them of this 1 final vote, sign up here: http://bit.ly/ElectJon
Make sure to and help us win this!

Let’s do this Mississippi!

The Mississippi College Democrats (CDMS) firmly believes that the University of Mississippi has a responsibility to encourage students, staff, and faculty to speak up about issues surrounding racial justice and equality. We also believe open dialogues foster changes we wish to see for a fairer society. We hope to see the University and Dr. Felber come to a mutually-satisfactory decision regarding the resolution of his termination.

During a period of what University of Mississippi faculty are calling a time of increasing paranoia, a celebrated professor of history faces termination.

I’m beyond thrilled that my friend Joe Biden and our first Black and Indian-American woman Vice President, Kamala Harris, are headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House. Our country sorely needs it.

Thank you to all of you who poured every ounce of your hope and determination into this democracy over these past four years, registering voters, getting them to the polls, keeping folks informed. More votes were cast in this election than ever before. It’s because of you.

And after we celebrate — and we should all take a moment to exhale after everything we’ve been through — let’s remember that this is just a beginning. It’s a first step. Voting in one election isn’t a magic wand, and neither is winning one. Let’s remember that tens of millions of people voted for the status quo, even when it meant supporting lies, hate, chaos, and division. We’ve got a lot of work to do to reach out to these folks in the years ahead and connect with them on what unites us.

But we’ve also got to recognize that the path to progress will always be uphill. We’ll always have to scrape and crawl up toward that mountaintop. And two years from now, four years from now, there will once again be no margin for error. We see now the reality that we can’t take even the tiniest part of our democracy for granted. Every single vote must count — and every single one of us must vote. And as a country, we should be making it easier, not harder to cast a ballot.

So it’s up to us to stay engaged and informed — to keep speaking out and marching on. We’ve got to vote in even greater numbers in local, state, and Congressional races. We’ve got to promise each other that our focus in this election won’t be an anomaly, but the rule. That’s how we can not only feel this way right now, but in the months and years ahead. It’s the only way we’ll build a nation worthy of our children.

My warmest congratulations again to Joe and Jill, Kamala and Doug — and each of you who stepped up when your country needed you.

The College Democrats of Mississippi honor and remember the lives lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks just 19 years ago. We also thank the first responders who risked their lives, and in some cases, gave up their lives, to rescue those in danger.
