Justice Comes to Georgia!

We at Dallas Justice Now were thrilled to wake up today to the news that Reverend Raphael Warnock narrowly beat succeeding incumbent senator Kelly Loeffler in the Georgia election.

This is a historic and necessary win for Georgia and for all of us.

The senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, will be the first Black senator from Georgia.

Warnock is the first Georgia Democrat elected to the Senate in 20 years, and his election is the culmination of years of voter registration drives conducted by former state House Democratic leader Stacey Abramsand other activists. President-elect Joe Biden also won Georgia, the first time for a Democratic presidential candidate since the 1990s.

"I am an iteration and an example of the American dream," the senator-elect told CNN's John Berman Wednesday morning on "New Day." He added, "When I think about the arc of our history, what Georgia did last night is its own message in the midst of a moment in which so many people are trying to divide our country, at a time we can least afford to be divided."
