This article is technical, but the technology "sits firmly on the shoulders" of experienced progressive organizers.

The Jon Ossoff for Senate runoff campaign ran a massive relational voter contact program, building and mobilizing a relational network of over 160,000 voters in less than a month. It worked— an analysis of our program found that it improved turnout by an estimated 3.8 percentage points for voters in the relational network.

In these posts, we talk specifically about the relational voter contact program our teams ran on this campaign. We want to explicitly acknowledge that the Ossoff program amounted essentially to a cherry on top of years of of hard-fought progressive organizing in Georgia on the part of Black organizers and Georgia-based organizations like New Georgia Project and Fair Fight; and that our relational voter contact program sits firmly on the shoulders of the union organizers and communities of color who pioneered relational organizing as a means to build power and drive movements for social, economic and racial justice. We are grateful to have been able to learn and draw from this history, and to build on the work of organizers on recent Democratic campaigns as well, namely those of Sri Kulkarni, Ed Markey, Mondaire Jones, Joe Biden, and Pete Buttigieg, who were able to apply these tactics to electoral voter contact and who generously shared their lessons learned and resources with us.
