Going to Georgia is a compilation of Merge Records artists performing Georgia-centric music to support the state’s Democratic candidates in their 2021 Senate runoff election. 100% of proceeds go towards Fair Fight and Mijente, two organizations fighting for voting rights in Georgia and beyond.

Merge Records and Superchunk co-founder Mac McCaughan on the initiative:

We live in North Carolina, where a racist Republican legislature has worked for a generation to undermine democracy through unprecedented voter suppression. Our neighbors in Georgia have successfully fought back, through the efforts of Fair Fight and other organizations. The voters who turned Georgia blue in November can now elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, take back power in the Senate, and make true progress possible in this country. 

The Merge artists on this comp came together quickly, recording in various quarantine situations, to pay tribute to their favorite artists from Georgia, or maybe just record their favorite songs with “Georgia” in the title, and to support those working hard in Georgia to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.

Voter registration in Georgia ends Dec. 7!
Early voting period starts December 14!
