Cookin' With Facts:
100K Georgians who didn’t vote for President in November 2020, showed up to vote for Senate just a month later and made history! 50K of those voters were black, young and from mostly Rural Georgia’s Black Belt regions.

Stacey Abrams APPROVED!
Rural Cookouts was founded in Illinois and Georgia by private citizens, who wanted to make a difference in rural areas by addressing the marginalization of rural areas during elections (by the party, campaign and outside organizations). Our intention was to empower and uplift community members like Torie Stewart in Baldwin County, GA, who goes into her communities talking to young people about voting. After Torie's first Rural Pop Out, we saw the voter turnout with young, black voters INCREASE; and it continued to grow after Torie and Stacey took this photo. Thank you for your support.
