Georgia's on our minds, link roundup

I had intended to try to track down and explain as many possible links to "how to pitch in for the Georgia runoffs" as I could, and then this awesome diarist at DailyKos did it far better than I could. (Protips include links to donate to one or more county Democratic parties; they are more likely to be strapped for cash in the aftermath of the general election and also more likely to know how best to mobilize the voters in their areas, so everyone gets more bang for their buck that way. Also a breakdown of other organizations that are both doing good work and may not get as much attention as the two campaigns, including a further breakdown of organizations that can accept donations from non-USians versus those that can't.) (Seriously, read this diary, it's a brilliantly clear breakdown of the opportunities to help out and also things not to do even if you mean well.) (ETA: the excellent
rydra_wong reminds me that Stacey Abrams' New Georgia Project also takes donations from non-USians, and that Romancing the Runoff, mentioned previously in these parts, also has links to organizations accepting of international donations.)
Additionally, here is a link to the Movement Voter Project's Georgia Fund. (Yep, there's overlap between these; I'm trying to cover all the bases I can.)
And, again, there's overlap, but here's a link to another DailyKos diary (by the same author as the one above) on the mobilization efforts in Athens-Clark county, where there's a local runoff in addition to the state-wide one. (Athens, GA is home to the University of Georgia--- college towns and urban/suburban areas being good opportunities.)
Early in-person voting in Georgia starts Dec.14. This is a link for Georgia voters to register to vote by Dec.7..
