[1]Stacey Abrams for Governor


John,

I want to tell you a story about the first time I visited the Governor’s
Mansion.

But first, this Friday marks the last day of the quarter, when our
fundraising numbers will be locked in for the last time before Election
Day. That’s why my team made a goal to raise $150,000 per day from now
through September 30.

[ [link removed] ]Will you invest $5 in my campaign right now to build One
Georgia, where we all thrive — and where our children are safe and
surrounded by opportunity and possibility? Your $5 donation
could help take us right over the finish line today and help us begin
opening gates of opportunity across Georgia.

In 1991, I graduated as the valedictorian of Avondale High School. Like
most Georgia valedictorians, I was invited to meet the Governor of Georgia
at the Governor’s Mansion.

It was a big deal for my family. That morning, I got up and put on my
Sunday best. My parents and I boarded the MARTA bus with the domestic
workers and mechanics who, like us, could not afford a car.

We took MARTA all the way from DeKalb County to Buckhead, got off at West
Paces Ferry Road, and walked up the long driveway to the big black gates
around the property. When we got to the guard station, the guard looked at
my parents, then he looked at me and said, “This is a private event, you
don’t belong here.”

He looked over our shoulder at the MARTA bus driving away and he told
himself a story about who would be on that bus — and in his story, they
did not belong in the Governor’s Mansion.

My parents pushed back and I got in. But looking back on that day, I don’t
remember meeting the Governor of Georgia. I don’t even remember
celebrating my accomplishments with valedictorians from 159 counties and
180 school districts. The only thing I remember is a man blocking the
gates of the most powerful place in Georgia, telling me that I did not
belong.

I have spent my life in public service opening the gates of opportunity
for those often left behind. But now, I need your help to change the face
of leadership in Georgia and win this election on November 8.

[ [link removed] ]So, I’m humbly asking, John: with
just over 48 hours left until our End
of Quarter reporting deadline, will you help show the world that Georgia
can be a state that works for all? Let’s show everyone — Brian Kemp, the
media and everyone else who counted us out — that we have a mandate to
open those gates and keep them open.

Thanks for your support during this crucial moment,

Stacey Abrams
