I couldn’t be more excited to share this news, John: My friend Stacey Abrams is officially running for governor in Georgia, and the need for a leader like her in office has never been more urgent.

We need 1,000 founding donors to ensure Stacey has the resources to fight back against GOP megadonors and mobilize voters. Please donate $5 (or more!) to help Stacey become the next governor of Georgia.

After making history in 2018 as the first Black woman in our country’s history to win the gubernatorial nomination for a major party, the Georgia GOP doubled down on voter suppression—and still, Stacey Abrams came within just 2 points of defeating Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.

Since then, Stacey has been fighting tirelessly for free and fair elections—registering nearly a million voters and ensuring every voice is heard at the ballot box. John, we have her to thank for flipping Georgia blue in 2020 and helping deliver the Senate AND White House for Democrats.

But all the while, Kemp and the GOP have been purging voter rolls and suppressing voting rights at every opportunity, especially for voters of color. Their shameless tactics worked once before, and they know that’s their best chance at clinging to power in November.

Stacey can win the race this time. And with your help, John, she will. But she’s going to need every bit of grassroots support to fight back, and we’ve got to start building up resources right away. So with our democracy on the line, I promised her team we could gather 1,000 founding donors by midnight in honor of her campaign launch. Will you pitch in whatever you can right now?

Rush $5 or more now—every dollar you can spare—to fight back against the GOP’s voter suppression strategy and help Stacey Abrams become the next governor of Georgia.

Stacey has already done so much to uphold our democracy—just imagine the progress she can make as governor. Thank you for stepping up to make that a reality.
