The Battle for Georgia. 

Early voting is already underway in Georgia and other states, and Georgia voters once again will play a critical role in deciding who will win the White House. Latinos are poised to play a decisive role in that battle, as well as in some congressional races. What are the races to watch? Who’s mobilizing Latino voters in the state? Also, as election workers are under attack, human rights watchdogs are calling to protect election workers and volunteers from violence and harassment and protect polling places to prevent voter intimidation.

Guests: Kyle Gómez-Leineweber, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy, Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials-GALEO and GALEO Impact Fund, Inc., Atlanta, GA; Adelina Nicholls, Executive Director, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights-GLAHR and GLAHR Action Network-GAN, Atlanta, GA; Sebastian Saavedra, Communications Coordinator, GLAHR and GAN, Atlanta, GA; Giovanni Serrano, Community Organizer, GLAHR and GAN, Atlanta, GA; Carlos Medina, Lead Community Organizer, GLAHR and GAN, Atlanta, GA.
