Targeting the Georgia run-off elections which will potentially determine control of the Senate!

To kick it off, we are starting a massive auction/donation drive to benefit Fair Fight, Black Voters Matter, and the New Georgia Project—organizations that were crucial to Georgia’s success this last election.
Note also:
For those who are romance adjacent—most notably our close cousins SFF and YA—we have a very big tent and we welcome anyone!
Come on in. The water is clear blue.
Also bless them, they've got an international donation section which feeds donations to the charitable sibling-organizations of relevant groups (which can legally accept donations from non-US citizens).
Given the astonishing work that's been done in Georgia by founder of Fair Fight Stacey Abrams, a.k.a. romance novelist Selena Montgomery, whose SF/F geek credentials are also beyond question, this seems like a particularly appropriate way to pay tribute and support the fight.
