[1]Stacey Abrams for Governor


John,

[ [link removed] ]In a moment, I will ask you to donate to our campaign to create a
Georgia where opportunity is available to everyone — regardless of their
background. But first, I want to tell you a story about why it is so
important to create a state where everyone can thrive:

In November 1994, I vied for a prize no one like me had ever won before —
one I had no road map for winning — the Rhodes Scholarship.

Prior to my junior year of college, I feared applying for this prestigious
award, which I thought was only given to the true heirs of American power
— not a working-class Black woman from Mississippi like me. I was afraid
that outside the comfort of my bubble, I would prove all those who had
looked down on me correct.

When I voiced these fears to my mother, she told me, “We never imagined,
from where we began, we would have a daughter who would have this
opportunity. You can’t fail, even if you don’t win. Because you’ve already
won the hardest part.”

A few weeks later, I learned I did not win the Rhodes Scholarship. The
loss devastated me, but in the attempt, I changed my life. This gave me
the courage to go on to Yale Law School, run for political office and
become the Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives.
Because suddenly, I saw opportunity where I had never been brave enough to
look before — and where no one who looked like me had been.

I’m running for governor to open the doors of opportunity for people all
across our state, to give Geogians the chance to explore their own
potential and to create a Georgia where everyone can thrive — regardless
of their background or zip code.

[ [link removed] ]But I need your help to get there. John,
can you please chip in to my campaign
right now, to seize this moment and build a state where everyone has the
opportunity to thrive?

Thank you,

Stacey Abrams
