Voter outreach groups in final push to get Georgians registered ahead of Oct. 7 deadline

ecent college graduate and Georgia newcomer Izzy Wade moved to Atlanta to follow her girlfriend, who landed a job at a homeless advocacy group.

When it came time to hunt for her own job, Wade knew she wanted to make a difference as well.

“I was really excited to learn that I could vote here after living here a couple of months, and then I was searching online to find voter registration work because I think that it’s really important in Atlanta,” she said. “Georgia’s a swing state, there’s a big potential for people’s voices to really matter here.”

Wade was hired by the Outreach Team, whose website bills the organization as “the national engine of campaigners and organizers powering the progressive movement.”
