John,
Stacey Abrams, Nse Ufot, LaTosha Brown, and other Black women organizers are the reason why Georgia went blue. “The brainpower and organized efforts among them as well as scores of unnamed on-the-ground workers helped register thousands of Black voters, contributing to a total of 1.2 million Black voters casting ballots in the Nov. 3 election,” News One reports. “According to exit polls, 92 percent of Black women in Georgia voted for Biden.”
Now, Stacey Abrams has some reassuring words for us as we wait to see who will win the Senate races in Georgia and control the Senate: “We have seen what is possible when we work hard and when we work together. We know we can win Georgia. Now let's get it done, again.”
At this critical moment, we have to do more than sit back and watch, or give Abrams empty words of solidarity -- we must actively support the work of her and her colleagues. Glynda Carr, the president of Higher Heights for America, an organization dedicated to harnessing the political power of Black women, points out the truth: We all need to step up in this fight.
“I certainly think that here’s another opportunity coming out of the general election where there’s obviously discussions around the participation of white women, the participation of Latinx and the participation of Black men,” Carr observes. “This is definitely sparking a conversation around shared values and how we can show up for one another.”
We’re proudly supporting the work Fair Fight and Stacey Abrams are doing to protect our democracy and flip the Senate, just like she flipped Georgia -- but we need to know that you’re with us in our mission to support her. Commit to taking action today and tell us:
Do you stand with Stacey Abrams?
Thank you so much for taking our poll today.
